    I started quilting about 20 years ago and several years during that time I was a fulltime quilter. Secrets? Well, I don't know... I think every handquilter must find out her/his own method and what works best. My way of quilting is a little different to the way it's teached in many books - I do single stiches, I don't use a thimble etc. But no secrets.

    Yes, but I don't do stab stiching! I just pull out the needle after every stich, pull the thread just a little bit and do about 5 or 6 more stiches until I pull the thread trough completely. With that method my stiches are much more even.
