Hi,
What kind of YLI do you use? I'm going to take the plunge and piece something quickly so I can practice my hand quilting.
Have loads of the stiff Coats and Clark stuff I bought long ago but would prefer to try this out.
Thanks,

The thimble is pretty pricey but I have yet to find a fabric I cannot push a needle through with it.

I work in payroll and during the months of December and January life is pretty crazy here at work so at night I would go home and hand quilt and it would reduce my stress level almost immediately.
