A quilting friend mentioned this method as I was having probs with ordinary hand quilting, I Googled n saw this: http://sewprimitive.blogspot.com/2007/01/big-stitch-examples.html and couldn't resist so I made this over the weekend.

I like big stitch quilting, as I can keep the stitches more evenly spaced. Adds nice texture too.
|
I think I will give it a try. I tried hand quilting but was disappointed that my stitches were too big. Thanks for sharing this.

When I was a young'un, my grandmother called stitches like that 'toenail catchers'. LOL! Times do change!
