Confession: I sneak around to quilt. I never let anyone see me do it. I quilt small pieces, and I don’t use a hoop or frame. I’m scared someone will discover that I don’t quilt the right way.
Imagine my relief when I found a tutorial by Tonya of Lazy Gal Quilting in which she explains her technique for quilting without a hoop or frame. And I mean quilting – big pieces. Phew! I feel so much better.
If you’d like to know more about this technique, see the tute.
I hope this means you’re not sneaking around anymore. I can think of two professional quilters/teachers who don’t use a hoop either: Suzanne Marshall and Gai Perry. See, we’re not doing it “wrong” at all.
