So, do you count the top and back stitches or just the top stitches?

I use an 11 or 12 quilting between for piecing and quilting. My stitches vary according to the thickness of the sandwich..

i hand quilt all my quilts - until i get a machine and frame :) - i prefer #10 needles and do not use a frame - too constricting for me. i just make sure ihave the fabric smoothed before beginning to stitch - i agree with what others have said - it's more important to have even stitches rather than so many per inch.
