The darning needle is a wonderful tip. Thank you so much. I am a hand quilter.....oh how I wish my stitches were as beautiful as yours. Practice, practice, practice. I am hand quilting an 83 year old quilt right now that my mother made when she was 14. I can quilt with either my middle finger or my thumb. In fact sometimes the stitches done with my thumb are the neatest. I use this method instead of turning my hoop. It is for quilting backwards.

Many tuts here and other place on line, just read, read and read.

My mother told me when she was hand quilting that it was
relaxing for her. I can now understand what she meant. My quilting stitches are small, but uneven. Still practicing. |
Thanks for sharing that tip. Love your work.

Andrea, I understand how you use the needle to mark, but are you using a stencil? Do you design the quilting pattern to fit each quilt and draw it on paper?
Your work is so spectacular. I would love to try a small wholecloth like yours. Where do you purchase your fabric? And what is the fabric called? Thanks SewingLadyDI |
You never cease to amaze me! Your work is stunningly beautiful.

I really wished you lived here in Arizona. You are so amazing. I would love to just shadow you for a day. Your tips are so great. Im almost done with my first practice piece of hand quilting. When I bind it, I will send you a pic, you'll probably laugh, but Im getting it and Im LOVING IT!!!
Thank you, Suebee |
I've used my white plastic Hera marker to do lines/indentations.
