Please give hand quilting a chance and don't give up too soon. It is such good therapy for me. Use a large quilting hoop on a smaller project and give it a try. It takes a while to learn how to manipulate your needle and use a thimble, but is so worth it. I love the old-fashioned hand quilted look. If you need more suggestions, contact me. I think this is a skill worth preserving!

Sharon Schamber Network has videos on domestic machine quilting, long arm quilting, and hand quilting. I have a Tin Lizzie 18 and love it, but I still want to do some quilting on my domestic Juki, and am working on a handpieced and handquilted table runner. What I learn using one method seems to help me with the other methods, too.

Christina, at A few Scraps, is hosting a quilt-along that might be right up your alley. Not a sew-along, but precisely to quilt. And she does it with no fancy machine. So this might be helpful:

Ricky Tims has an excellent dvd out on that. He doesn't roll his quilts up. He keeps them loose around the machine but he has a massive surface and that makes all the difference in the world.
The other thing is...go ahead and make a sandwich of fabric, batting and backing...put the quilting foot on etc....start on your sandwich...practice your name or just doodles etc....the trick is, listen to your motor, it needs to have a rythm and a certain humm...you will recognise it when it happens. ...it happems when you are keeping an even pressure on the foot. ....

You could try to get the book put out by Marti Mitchell "Quilting in Sections" I have used this before and it shows you how to it in sections then put it toghether afterwards.Hope it helps you out.

For shapes, like leaves, to quilt, instead of pinning paper templates, cut them out of shelf paper and peel off back paper, then templates will stick to quilt. They can be used numerous times before all the stickiness is off.
