First Attempt at Hand Quilting
#173
This looks like you have been quilting for years. Nice even stitching. Mine isn't that consistent and I have done several quilts. Each one has his/her own technique and you will learn more each time you try. To rock the needle you have to have "play" in your hoop, that is, not too tight, so you can manipulate the fabric.I learned from Deidre McElroy in a class at a guild workshop. Keep practicing and yo will be doing prize winning work on big quilts. This is great.

Don't know if this helps, but I was pleasantly surprised to find out that a quilt does not need to be fitted tightly into the frame the way a piece of embroidery does. When it is looser the article said it is easier to rock the needle.
