I also use waxed thread and a short skinny needle, Between 10 is my preference. I would like to master perle thread, but I can't seem to get that flowing. I like to use wool batting for that puffy look too. Hand quilting produces a much softer looking and feeling quilt.Karynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13501868462442196722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3897344944533518603.post-70088488062933969542013-11-05T03:53:23.845+13:002013-11-05T03:53:23.845+13:00I love to quilt by hand and I use a 14" quilt...I love to quilt by hand and I use a 14" quilting hoop. I quilt most projects by machine because it's quicker, but I'm always happier with my hand quilted quilts. I use the traditional waxed cotton hand quilting thread with tiny needles. I think I'll try pearl cotton on a future project and see how I like it. I use pearl cotton for wool appliqué. I'd never thought of using it for hand quilting.

I prefer to knit to hand stitching, or to embroider/cross stitch but I have hand quilted part of one quilt.

It does take long, but it's very relaxing and the feel of a hand quilted quilt is totally different (softer) than a machine quilted one.

Love them all. I was also someone who never thought I'd be a hand quilter, like NEVER. lol I've been hand quilting now for just over 10 years--still not a pro, I only get 4-5 stitches to the inch, but I just love the texture in my quilts and the total relaxation I get from doing it.audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18102559813211702736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3897344944533518603.post-45127973614624398472013-11-04T20:22:47.184+13:002013-11-04T20:22:47.184+13:00Thanks for sharing the pictures.

When you’re not in a hurry to finish a quilt, it looks so much nicer than machine quilting. I learned to use a hoop, but I quilt without one most of the times. I finally found a thimble that works fine for me.dutchcomforthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02986021480546345435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3897344944533518603.post-87784780753021182492013-11-04T17:55:01.396+13:002013-11-04T17:55:01.396+13:00Oh how beautiful!!!

I have been quilting a long time (although not prolific). I learned hand quilting from the beginning as that was how it was done. I always found it extremely relaxing. As long as you aren't all about speed it is a wonderful thing. Sometimes it is just better to get it done.Tamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06815182584068425767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3897344944533518603.post-70052506410761658812013-11-04T13:52:59.183+13:002013-11-04T13:52:59.183+13:00This post is perfectly timed for me, I really want...This post is perfectly timed for me, I really want to do some handquilting on my mini Night Garden.
