Help for hoopless hand quilting
I am big stitch hand quilting without a hoop , as I find it easier for me. My problem is that I really struggle bunching up (or rolling) the quilt in my left hand so I can stitch (with my right hand) the center part of the quilt. I find this very hard and awkward at times (and my hand hurts holding the bunched quilt) and the stitches look more uneven and sloppy. This is the first time I have done this, and I am going very slowly, one stitch at a time. My right pointer finger is hurting from directing and moving the needle, especially in the awkward areas. Thank you for any advice or help! You always help me so much!
