Hand quilting links

Thanks for your lovely comments in my earlier post! Here are all links about hand quilting which I got from Karen. Maybe they will help somebody else too.

My main problem was that the quilt was pulled too tight in the hoop. There is a video in the second link in which you could see clearly how loose the quilt is pulled - this was the biggest and the most important perception for me.

I wish you 'rocking needles'!

Ami Simms (Flint, Michigan, USA) has a great little book on hand quilting that is marvelous for people just learning how to do the quilt stitch. Check out her web site at amisimms.com .
