I love the old school quilting, that's how I learned a veryh long time ago.
However, due to a neck and shoulder injury I am unable to do it all the time now; but I do every now and again. Even when I'm in pain I think its the best of quilting.

My accuracy with shears is as good as a rotary cutter after many years of dog showing.
The only place I use a sewing machine is to do a stay stitch around the border of the quilt just before I put the binding on by hand.

I think she's absolutely correct when she says that if quilting hurts, you're doing something wrong.

Do you quilt with or without a hoop or frame?

I've tried without a hoop but my arms got tired of the weight of the quilt too quickly.
