I have a question about hand piecing
#11
I use hand quilting thread to piece and quilt. I use single thread and do a tiny running stitch. This is how my Grannie taught me who was "The Quilting Queen". I use a variety of needles and I agree, if they get dull, out they go. Needles are not expensive. I use twin pointed needles to quilt.

Sorry for my lack of knowledge....what's a twin pointed needle? I am trying to organise a Project Linus table at a 4 day Conference of SAFAS (Scottish Association of Flower Arrangement Societies) where there are 100 ladies sharing four days of flowers, friendship and fun!

Hi! I live in a village called Eaglesham which is south of Glasgow.
I have friends in both Aberdeen and Dundee, but being in the flower association I meet people from all over Scotland. I hope our Conference is a lot of fun! I am in charge of games, puzzles, hospitality and flowers at the door and I hope to get many of the ladies interested in sewing patches!

"Designed for quilting with a table-top hoop and floor frame. No needle turning means faster stitching, less needle dropping, less thread twisting, and less wrist strain. Needle has sharp points on both ends and a narrow eye in the center."
They also make a size for needlepoint. I purchased them online at JoAnnes.
