hand quilting stitches, etc. etc.

I agree with consistency. My first experience with hand quilting was hand stitching around the images in a pre-printed panel. I made my boys each one when they were babies. It was before I piece quilted but made many quilts tied. I like the relaxation of hand quilting and love it when I get in a groove and that is when my consistency comes.

here are some pic's of mine, I think the most important thing is to have the stitches even I have never been concerned with how many there are per inch.
I also have never been able to use a thimble I have tried several and always end up removing it and using my fingernail and the tip on my finger when my finger gets to sore I have to take a day off and let it heal. Super glue works will on the tip on your finger it makes the skin a little tougher, it also works for closing those little cracks I get on the edges of my nails.

I hand quilt and I just hand quilt what is comfortable for me. I don't count stitches per inch, if I did I would go crazy. I think it is all in who is hand quilting. I just like the way it looks and what it gives to a quilt.

I am just learning and I just try to do it so I like it and often have to take it out and go back and try again. It would have been easy to just say forget it but I really wanted to do it so much. :)
