    grandma7- everything I've seen and read says that it's not so important that the stitches are the same. It's more of a "relaxed" method. We can do it!!!

    Since you are a regular hand quilter I thing the big stitch will aggravate you. We work so long to make nice small stitches and then when it comes time for big stitch it is very difficult to go big. I did one and didn't enjoy the process. I might suggest you tie it instead with matching threads. If you don't like to see the threads hanging you can bury them inside the quilt.

    Grandma7, you are welcome. Feel free to pm me if you'd like. I will post pics when I am on my computer. My favorite big stitch videos on YouTube are Jo Glover's. She is very thorough and does beautiful work.

    Faintly Artistic, your big stitch quilting is an inspiration to me. I am so glad you posted the photos. Simply beautiful and much more than faintly artistic—very artistic.
