i do my best praying when I'm hand quilting. Love the quiet and the opportunity to lose myself in the wonder and glory of God.

[quote=CristyK1]Most of the time the only thing I am thinking is how I'm going to get those 8 tiny little stitches into that tiny little inch.

With that being said, I'm still new to this so it takes alot for me.[/quote

I always try for 8 on top and 8 on the bottom. Is there a specific rule?

I'm always listening to the radio with classical country western music.

The professionals measure stitches both top and bottom to determine how many per inch you get.

please tell me.

I am learning the blanket stitch, and I think I may have found something to ease my mind....handwork.

I am one of those who cannot just sit and watch tv. I need to have my hands busy, so I have found that hand quilting my table toppers is perfect for me. then I can stop a moment if something on the boob tube demands my full attention and then back to listening and stitching.
:D :-D

Exactly what I do, either embroider or hem a quilt, can't just sit there and watch TV. When at the lake I read alot if I don't have something to embroider.

I pray for my family, one at a time, it is so peaceful to
think of them individually and prayer for them.

How do hand quilters get 13-15 stitches to the inch!

jdeery 06-15-2011 08:50 AM

A lot of practice!
