About to try handquilting for the first time.

I bought "Tiger Tape" from Clothilde 12 lines per inch... this equals the 12 stitch per inch that I refer to as "Master Quilter" stitching.
I don't worry about perfection... each time I make a project, I improve my skills...

It's very relaxing, enjoy!
Don't worry about how many stitches per inch, just keep the same throughout the quilt, if you do 8 stitches, be consistent throughout. Eventually you will get smaller, it takes practice.
