hand quilting?
#1
im not that familiar with this im old fashioned the way my mom taught me to hand tie together all over the quilt with yarn. for hand quilting do you draw a design on and hand stitch the pattern? And what do you use to hold the quilt together (a large hoop?)

The only hand quilting I've done is echo quilting-where you quilt a little ways away from a seam or applique shape. If I was doing anything else I would draw it on somehow. I use a hoop but some can do it without. My hoop is the PVC looking kind but you have to be very careful about the sharp edges on the clips. I've gotten a tear before.
