I find that my bottom stitches are more consistent, and after awhile I can go along at a pretty good clip.

Thanks to all of you who are also stab stitchers. I have come out of the closet!

OMG.....i never told ANYONE that i do this kind of stitch for the little bit of hand quilting i do....since i cross stitch, it just came naturally to hoop the section just like i would with a cross stitch.
AND YES.... i do the smart hand dumb hand route....i am right handed - so my right hand goes underneath where i have control without needing to see it.
WOW... THANK YOU PAM for unlocking this not so secret secret !!!!!!
