    Gee, I thought everyone quilted with big stitches, at least I do. LOL! I am kidding but I have tried this and I think it looks great on a pattern like yours. I am also interested in the type thread you use.

    I like how even you have your stitches. I can make the big stitches, but oh not so even like yours.

    I love it. Your stitches are so nice and even. I am doing my quilt in big stitches too. My thread isn't as thick as yours, but I hope mine comes out as nice as yours!

    I am using 10wt Crochet thread. Wasn't sure what I was supposed to use, just kinda winging it at this point. Thank you so much for the compliments. I sometimes think that I am too hard on myself. Was thinking that the stitches looked all sorts of sizes. You all have given me the confidence to press on!

    Thanks again-


    Sheila

    This quilt looks great with the larger quilting. I have noticed in some quilt magazines that not everyone is going in for the tiny hand quilting stitch.

    Love the big stitch. It really goes fast and you don't have to try for the 'small' stitches, which I could never get the hang of.
