They handle easily, so it's easy to move and rock the fabric, but those seams..... If I know I'm going to hand quilt a mini quilt, one thing I do is use a narrower seam allowance of 1/8". It gives me a little more open space to quilt in. <br />I often have to do the up and down stab quilting and that takes a long time. Oh, and that thimble is a must for me too. I've always used a thimble for my hand sewing and when I'm quilting, I use one on top and one on the bottom. <br />Good luck with this. I know you'll do a great job. Oh, and the quilt is a cutie!Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17290293469826056373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4111374094097095517.post-69933223835379040972010-07-01T06:03:41.448-05:002010-07-01T06:03:41.448-05:00u funny, auntie.u funny, auntie.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15251206406307589869noreply@blogger.com
