I really enjoy hand quilting and would still do all my quilts if my hands would cooperate. A short needle made for hand quilting works the best. I could manage my stitches better. For big stitch quilting I like pearle cotton and quilting thread for all others. Yes it does take a bit of practice to keep your stitches even but comes with time. If you like doing hand work and bindings you will enjoy it, otherwise not so much. Oh, almost forgot to mention that I sometimes use a hoop and many times if I have it basted well, I just do it without a hoop. Works either way.
