    I think I will give it a try. I tried hand quilting but was disappointed that my stitches were too big. Thanks for sharing this.

    I used Perle #8 Crochet Cotton Embroidery Thread there are some terrific buys on Ebay with an ordinary quilt needle, size 9 I think.

    Great job on your long stitches and they are very straight too. :)

    Here's another link for big stitching that I found.

    http://quiltsalott.blogspot.com/2009...-quilting.html

    I love to do the big stitch as it is so much faster! And I think it looks good, too. Yours looks great btw.

    When I was a young'un, my grandmother called stitches like that 'toenail catchers'. LOL! Times do change!
