large stitch quilting
 

Is there anyone here who could tell me about large stitch quilting? saw it mentioned in an article and would love to have more info on it.

just search on google...it's not for me but there is No Wrong Way to Quilt, so check it out...

do a search in the tuts on the board. seems like someone has a tut or a link to one.

Quite often done with pearl cotton and a large needle. it can be quite decorative

large stitch quilting is often done with embroidery floss or perle cotton-
it is simply a running stitch- between an 1/8" & 1/4" long- goes quickly and on the right quilt is quite wonderful. used often on primatives (wool quilts- flannels-homespuns) old fashioned looking traditional quilts

I remember seeing it here on the board somewhere, some time ago, do a search.

I found a blog with big stitch on it; let me look and see if I can re-find it.

There's an article in the latest issue of McCalls Quilting. They even have a video. Look at McCallsQuilting.com and click on videos.

Here's a blog that gives some great pictures. http://sewprimitive.blogspot.com/200...-examples.html
I have done big stitch and love it. I use perle cotton and larger needle. No hoop. I did mine on these quilts for sons for Christmas last year. Apparently it's only letting me download one quilt. But I hope you can see what it is.

Billie Lauder is famous for using this technique. I just googled her and got this link to a website with a lot of her videos. One of them is about Big Stitch quilting.
