Hand quilting
Hi. There is so much of good sharing here hence am asking for guidance . I had planned to get my first -and only so far- quilt top LA quilted but found the cost took me beyond my budget. So on to Plan B, which is to quilt by hand.
Have watched a few tutorials online... haven't been very successful in getting even stitches but will get there hopefully. Though I haven't begun to enjoy it !!
I have no idea about the following.
What thread to use. What brand and thread weight are commonly used ?
Also is there any specific needle for hand quilting ?
I don't have any frame. The quilt top is 84 x 101 inches. What should I buy?
There is only one Fabric store within driving distance and they do not have any templates for patterns.
I look fwd to all advice and suggestions. and Thank you in advance.
