Hand Quilting...with or without a hoop
#1
Met a new friend last week and she showed me her quilts that were all hand quilted..incluing the ones that her mother had done years ago. In my excitement and awe I forgot to ask her if she uses a hoop or not. She is out of town looking after grandkids so I can't contact her about her method.
What do I do ? I've got a top finished and ready to sandwich with backing and batting......can't afford to send to LAQ.....your help would be appreciated! Thanks, Sandy

You folks are awesome ! NEVER have I ever felt that anyone has "talked down" to me as if to say, "that is a silly question!". I have the confidence to ask the most basic, silliest, questions because I'm new to this and have a lot of questions. When I've asked at the LQS the reply is not as informative and then they want to sell you something to help issue ! Thanks again ! MAYBE one day I'll feel confident in answering others' questions !
