The number of stitches per inch depends a lot of the fabric, the batting and the quilting thread I use. In general I can do 14 stitches to the inch, only counted on the top of the quilt. I use a #11 John James or Roxanne and I use a 18" hoop on a floor stand. |
Absolutely stunning!
You have an amazing gift! Keep up the good work. I ordered The Essential Quilter just from going through your posts. If I can learn to be a quarter as good as you, I'll be happy. :D Thanks for sharing. :thumbup: |
Nice!

Beautiful, as always.

Absolutely amazing. I am always impressed by such beautiful hand work. How long have you been hand quilting to achieve that small, consistent quilt stitch?
|
I have been hand quilting for more that 20 years now - and I only do that! No piecing, no appliqué, only wholecloths.
|
you make me want to go back to hand quilting. I really should my work is so much better when I hand quilt instead of machine
