I practiced and practiced on mini quilt sandwiches, but when I quilted a real quilt (just a lap size) it felt totally different because of the weight. Just try to remember- fast needle, slow hands. Hang in there! You'll get the hang of it. My quilts aren't perfect by ANY means, but my current ones are much better than when I started in January. And always remember- you are your own worst critic! I'm sure most people wouldn't even be able to spot anything "wrong" with your quilting. :)Kellyhttp://www.myquiltinfatuation.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31707575.post-54990691657907806782013-05-06T20:45:37.751-07:002013-05-06T20:45:37.751-07:00I use some super gloves I found at the hardware st...I use some super gloves I found at the hardware store. I think I paid $4.00 for them, they work really well. You can definitely tell a difference.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04553046145154955389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31707575.post-19442658637326882562013-04-23T10:32:53.886-07:002013-04-23T10:32:53.886-07:00I use the gloves all the time - except for in the ...I use the gloves all the time - except for in the summer when it's so hot. Then I just grip the quilt to death - lol! I really do love the gloves, makes is so much easier and fun. I haven't used the slider. Makes me wonder if I should buy one and try it.Linda in Calif.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17976880355570847646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31707575.post-17717334707746327382013-04-21T20:32:54.495-07:002013-04-21T20:32:54.495-07:00:) The gloves and a slider really help me a lot.

That slider - you'll want to put a couple pieces of tape down (doesn't take lot), just to make sure it doesn't shift on you.Lynettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10424861624240818479noreply@blogger.com
