Be sure to always check the back for wrinkles. Stretch all those out. You will do fine, I'm sure.

My mom taught me to quilt. She used flour sacks for her quilts. "Bags of Scraps" were available and inexpensive, and she used them a few times. The problem with them was a lot of the pieces weren't good for sturdy quilts.
The one thing she was picky about was stitch size.
She would say, "Don't make the stitches so long you can catch
your toenail in it." She used all her quilts for cover on the bed.
She always had a bedspread over them. I use mine for both covers and coverlets, and make bedskirts and pillow shams to match. Sometimes I made curtains to match also.


Could I use a hoop for any size quilt?
Thanks You in advance
Thank You for your answer - this will be my first quilt that will be hand quilted it is crib size.[/quote]
