First, thanks for your rating and comment :)
I hand quilt because i am not too great at it with the machine LOL. My sewing room is also small, and when quilting a full quilt, you need more room so the quilt do not get stuck against the wall while you are trying to move it around!
Hand quilting can be really relaxing. I like doing it in front of a good tv show! You might want to practice just on one piece of fabric, to get your stitch more regular, then once you get the hand of it, grab 2 scrap of fabric and a left over piece of batting, put it together in a small frame and just practice. There are quite a few good videos on you tube. Mind you, most will teach you the rocking hand technique, I myself never got the hang of that. I hand quilt like if I was doing embroidery or sewing (no rocking movement) and I still accomplish a fairly regular stitch. I came to one conclusion about quilting in general: there is no rules, besides the one we impose on ourselves!!! |
