Sounds like a combination I will try. A question when I'm quilting I need to stop and roll the quilt. I have a hard time getting the needle right on top of the thread when I stopped so it looks continuous. How do you do that. I have a Tin Lizzie 18. Thanks

I also hand piece and hand quilt. My favorite thread is YLI 40.
