I love to hand-quilt! Its very relaxing.

When I started out I used the Tiger Tape for 9 per inch. I drew straight lines on a sandwich and taped it off. After doing a few rows you sort of get into the rythym. Then I just started drawing out curves and such and did them. I always use betweens and hand quilting thread.

Be careful of how much bees wax you put on your thread. In this case, more is definitely not better!!!! Leaves little clumps on the top!! Found this out real quick!! :oops: :lol: Tried the stab stitch and didn't like doing it. Too cumbersome!! For me it wasn't as relaxing.
