[quote=janRN]When your underneath finger bleeds and then gets calloused you know you're through the 3 quilt layers. I can't use a thimble on that finger because I have to "feel" it go through (does that make sense?). quote]
Ditto. I use my thumb nails on the top and bottom to feel the need and help guide it. Had a couple ouches.
Definately no expert. I am almost finished quilting the train quilt that was my first. And I can see quite the difference from bottom to top in my stitches.
