There are many ways to hand quilt.
My way is with a round hoop. I use a size 10 between (needle), and a leather thimble. That is the only kind that works for me.
As for stitches- I try to be consistent. I try to get them as small as I can but consistency is the key. Mine have gotten smaller the longer I've quilted.
There is also big stitch hand quilting which I think is cool. I'm going to try my hand at that in the future.
You will get a lot of opinions and whatever works for you is the right way
