If you’re a veteran hand-quilter, you’ll enjoy these blog posts and pick up a tip or three. If you’re a newbie hand-quilter, these pieces should be required reading! Lenna Green of Stitching Cow blog walks us through all of the essential steps to begin hand-quilting; adds tips on needle, thread, and thimble choices based on her experience; and links us to videos detailing stitch techniques. See Tips for Beginning Hand Quilting and Perfect Hand Quilting without Pain.
Thank you so much, Lenna! And thanks to Mishka at Quilting Gallery for the heads-up.
