I am having trouble quilting through the seams. How do you do it? I tried the regular rocking motion and I'm not too happy about how that worked. Any hints?

Here's a picture of the little wall hanging that I am hand quilting. The outside border that you see is just temporary. I needed it so the wall hanging would fit in the hoop.

I use the stab method when I get to a very difficult seam...

Jstitch - stab method works

push the needle down from the top - pull it through - and then push it back up - pull it through - basically doing half of a stitch at a time - down and then back up

the hard part is getting the stitch to come back up lined up correctly

your wall hanging is very pretty

yep.. stab stitch it...and lots of patience:) a class of red wine can't help either :)

One of those rubbery needle grippers helps pull it through from the other side. That's when you find out whether you have a good thimble or not.

Aggi, do you mean "a glass of red wine can't hurt either" ?

Maybe Aggi already had her glass of wine!!

Love your wall hanging!

Stab stich and if the needle gets stuck use a nailclipper to grab the needle.
