It would be great to have a virtual section for the topic of hand quilting. I keep trying, but have a long way to go to be good at it. Maybe some of you experienced hand quilters can give tips for those of us less proficient. :thumbup:

I keep hoping with more time I will be able to sew by hand again. I really miss embroidering. I think hand quilting small items to learn how would be fun.

I don't think it is old fashioned. I would never do it cause it takes to long and I wouldn't have the patience for it. But I sure admire all the people who do hand quilting, and they love doing it. Keep up the good work you guys! You are definitely admired!

I would definitely be visiting the handquilting section if there is one! I wouldn't call myself a handquilter, as I am working on my first ever quilt, but I am handquilting it right now. I spend 2 hours a night doing it, and love it. In a way I can't wait till it's finished and I can use it, but I love having it to quilt.

Actually, a section for FMQ would be nice too, I think. It comes up more often, but having all the threads on tips and tricks in one place would be handy.
I would love that! Both handquilting and FMQ. Great idea :idea:

FMQ? what's FMQ? I probably know, but the coffee hasn't kicked in yet.

never mind - found the definition (Free Motion Quilting)

I don't know how to hand quilt, but it's on my list of things to learn! I would love to see a section devoted to it so that I can learn.
