Essential Tips for Smoother Hand Quilting

[@sandioney4761]

The pleasure is in the process, for sure. Ive made over 30 quilts & never machine quilted a one of them. All were queen sized except two baby quilts.

Woah! That's amazing! I agree, the process is the joy. Thank you for sharing!

Lovely! Thank you for first describing and then showing - just what I needed. Now I’m ready to start hand quilting!

[@Quiltsocial]

It's a very meditative process. Enjoy.

I would think this is like therapy, so even though it may be time consuming, it would be worth it for the therapeutic benefits! I have that last metal thimble, had it for 2 decades and never used it, but now I will!

[@ANPTmag]

So happy to hear we inspired you to use it!

[@bierjip1]

Very neat stitches!👍🏽

I’d love to know where you got that cute preprinted quilt top fabric.

[@PiecemakerParadise]

Very clear instructions. Thank you!

[@KelleysQuiltsandCruises]

Very beautiful. But impatient me prefers the big stitch method with 2 hands.

[@ANPTmag]

Ah yes! There are more than one way to hand quilt! Enjoy and thank you for commenting.

I agree!! I do it my way, no hoop or frame, no thimble, and I can make my stitches pretty small…about 1/8 inch.

Thank you.

I use a finger cot instead of that little rubber thing that I am constantly losing!

[@winonayvette4615]

I'm completely new. I don't understand how the blue outline doesn't show

[@chingachgook9718]

That blue ink is a product that washes out afterm the quilt is finished. 🙂

[@leolion3942]

The result looks beautiful but very time consuming!?!?

[@ANPTmag]

Thank you for asking. It's a very meditative process for sure, and with practice, you get more comfortable and faster at it.
