I really like the look of the big stitch quilting. This would be a big help to older folks like me who can't sit for hours and hours but love to hand quilt. It would make it go so much faster.

My stitches aren't as pretty as yours but overall I am pleased at how it turned out. Here is my quilt inspector, "Muffer", I think he approves too!
I added a piped trim before I put the binding on. It took me one month and one day to hand quilt it.

Auntobby that is beautiful!! Your black stitches work perfectly and I love the piped trim you included too. Muffer looks very cute. Does he try to sit on your quilt while your quilting? My Buttons does and gets very put out if the piece I'm quilting is too small for him to share.

I have a quilt I want to try this on, but for some reason I can't seem to get started on it. I've got the needles, the pearle cotton, quilt and the quilting pattern. What do I need to do to make my self get started.
