You count only the stitches you see, not the spaces in between. You can count them either on the front or the back, doesn't matter, but either way, you only count the stitches you see, and even a partial stitch within the inch is counted.

The jewelry pliers are a good tool for this. Regular needle nose pliers have striations that help you grip, but they would eat up a needle. Dharma Trading has a product that you paint on to the pliers that would help grip and leave no mark.

Needle puller/hedgehog
Has anyone ever tried the needle puller "Hedgehog" ? I hand quilt too, and have thought about ordering one of these http://www.nancyellenquilts.com/cata...uller-hedgehog

never tried the hedghog, don't think I would like it. My pliers works fine and if I need to worry able the needle breaking, I would just wrap some freezer tape on the nose, like some of my jewelry books advised.,
