    I think the batting and thread make all the difference. I have tried to do it a couple times, but felt totally frustrated. I was using warm and natural batting and regular thread. I never got past a few stiches and then gave up. This time (after reading things on the board) I used a "puffy" batting and actual hand quilting thread (its kinda thick and stiff). Works MUCH better.

    Thanks, I will remember that.

    I'm working on my first wallhanging as well. I'm planning on handquilting it. I hand quilt most of my projects, but I wanted to start getting into fans, feathers, flowers and scrolls and wanted something small to showcase the stitches.

    Great job!
