Hello dsj, I almost give up with quilting. I will follow you, rather than frustrating with machine quilting and resulting clumpsy & ugly quilts, I think hand quilting should be another smart option to try. I do not mind if it takes longer coz I don't sell my quilts anyway, no time target, no sales target, but my crafts will brighten my bedroom. I do have a question though if you do not mind to share with me, how do you hand stitch your quilts? I am not familiar with hand-sticthes terms, but is it you start with your needle from the back of the sandwich up to the quilt top, then from the top stitch down to the back of the sandwich again? Thanks a lot. :thumbup: :D
