Oh with a hoop besure to baste and then work from the center out in a circle. I had the good fortune of having a friend that is an avid hand quilter show me how to work with with a hoop. Now my hand quilting, stitches, leaves some to be desired but it is very peaceful work.
I am so afraid to start my kingsize quilt to do by hand. How do I get the 3 layers with no wrinkles. Can you sew across one side - so it doesnt shift and then start quilting to the other side. I have two quilts made but now I feel stuck. - Joan
