Thanks for this idea. I could do that.

So do you just poke holes along the design with the needle?

I am going to try that!

Thank you for the terrific idea!

Thank you Andrea - you are too kind. :)

Thank you, Suebee

I wish I could visit all the nice places in the world where hand quilters ask for assistance! But as long as we are unable to beam us from place to place it seems to be impossible...:-)

I am in the lucky situtation to stay at home and to quilt, quilt, quilt the whole day. My dear husband is so supportive to me and he loves what I do. All my time I can spend in hand quilting, in praciting and, of course, in doing traditional wholecloths. I don't piece, I don't have to cut, press and sew. You see my situation is different to most of us quilters!

Suebee, you can be sure: I would never ever laugh at you and your work! We all do our very best and we can all be very proud of our work.

So you just make holes on the pattern, and use your tread and
needle, your work is so very beautiful.

No, I don't poke holes - I just mark indentations by holding the needle point in a small angle towards the quilt top. There is no danger to damage the fabric when you hold the needle flat.
