I am having trouble quilting through the seams. How do you do it? I tried the regular rocking motion and I'm not too happy about how that worked. Any hints?

Here's a picture of the little wall hanging that I am hand quilting. The outside border that you see is just temporary. I needed it so the wall hanging would fit in the hoop.

I use the stab method when I get to a very difficult seam...

Jstitch - stab method works

push the needle down from the top - pull it through - and then push it back up - pull it through - basically doing half of a stitch at a time - down and then back up

the hard part is getting the stitch to come back up lined up correctly

your wall hanging is very pretty

I don't hand quilt so I am no help, but had to tell you haw much I like your wall hanging.

I agree with the stab stitch! And I love your quilt!!! So cute!

yep.. stab stitch it...and lots of patience:) a class of red wine can't help either :)

One of those rubbery needle grippers helps pull it through from the other side. That's when you find out whether you have a good thimble or not.

Aggi, do you mean "a glass of red wine can't hurt either" ?

Maybe Aggi already had her glass of wine!!

Love your wall hanging!

Stab stich and if the needle gets stuck use a nailclipper to grab the needle.
