I found not to wet the thread - after all it is cotton and while wet would be larger.
Hand quilting can be so relaxing and fun if you don't worry about the size of your stitch. It is better to have even larger stitches than to have some small, some large and some medium stitches. Though once your get a portion of the quilt done, you will find they all kinda look the same.
