Thank you. So many ladies here have told me that they can't hand quilt for one reason or another so aren't we lucky to live in a time where we have so many options available to us. I messed up my right thumb and knuckles a year ago when I went into a knitting frenzy and it really scared me that I wouldn't be able to hand quilt anymore. Luckily I've responded well to the aspirin therapy and my thumb and joints are doing well. Maybe one day I'll be able to knit again but never ever in a frenzy but sensible moderate pace. For some odd reason, hand quilting doesn't bother the thumb or the knuckles but that's why I decided it's time I start trying to learn how to machine quilt so I can continue quilting.
