As with anything, it just takes practice. And I should take my own advice and apply it to machine quilting.Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11479326539899743265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-413851723073175452.post-31251972038479592692007-07-26T12:42:00.000-07:002007-07-26T12:42:00.000-07:00Ah... don't sweat about hand quilting.

I push the needle with my fingernail and manage not to get holes poked in me.<BR/><BR/>For this kind of project, I wouldn't work too hard at the tiny stitches. Those are small pieces, and your stitches are proportionate, and even, which is much more important than small.<BR/><BR/>Check out Tonya's quilting advice at Lazy Gal Quilting. =)Susan https://www.blogger.com/profile/09159163720029661287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-413851723073175452.post-33122689141824483342007-07-26T04:25:00.000-07:002007-07-26T04:25:00.000-07:00You bag is beautiful and the quilting stitches loo...You bag is beautiful and the quilting stitches look very even...counts more than size!~Bren~https://www.blogger.com/profile/14533891842002502385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-413851723073175452.post-79976873496926665112007-07-26T02:46:00.000-07:002007-07-26T02:46:00.000-07:00You have made a beautiful little hexagon bag.Regar...You have made a beautiful little hexagon bag.<BR/>Regards,<BR/><BR/>Sonnja from the NetherlandsBeertje Zonnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11933932175563968129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-413851723073175452.post-45845220943872927532007-07-25T13:43:00.000-07:002007-07-25T13:43:00.000-07:00I am definitely going to have to make one of these...I am definitely going to have to make one of these bags - too cute *s*<BR/><BR/>Don't give up on the thimble, if I can learn to use one . . . anyone can.Libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17872055894285312153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-413851723073175452.post-62176694067947632162007-07-25T13:22:00.000-07:002007-07-25T13:22:00.000-07:00Adorable bag!

I agree with Belvie, it's very primitive looking!<BR/><BR/>Oh, you understand exactly how I feel about a thimble! ICK! I have a strong desire to hand quilt but that thimble thing may be my undoing. I do the same you do - I want to use every other finger to push my needle rather than the finger with the thimble on it. What's up with that???
