First Attempt at Hand Quilting

Well your "stab stitching" is absolutely Gorgeous! My attempts at hand quilting, ended up being more embroidery than quilting and it looked really funky. You did a beautiful job and should be very...very...very proud of yourself. Thank you for sharing.

I took the class just to see if it was something I wanted to pursue. The jury is still out on that question, but I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I'm not happy with the hoop I have, and so suggestions would be appreciated. Also, I couldn't figure out how to rock the needle at all, and so it's strictly stab stitching. That's the way I embroider too. Maybe I'm not cut out for anything else.

You're way to harsh on yourself. Your stitches are beautiful and even. Does it really matter if you "did the rocking stitch" or not??? As long as you enjoyed the process and it came out beautiful (which it did) that is all that matters. GOOD JOB!!!
