wow if I hand quilted I would get this frame in a heart beat...I like how it comes apart and you can tuck it way under a couch or bad.

Stick the needle down, pull, stick the needle up, pull, etc. And I use the 1/4 inch tape as a guide. Slow but pretty!

Thank you for sharing this----I love hand quilting but will never be able to reach the "gold standard" that I read about. But I like the look of longer stitches much better so it works for me. And I am slow as well but then I am not trying to win a race.
