Are you confused about how to place your quilt in a hoop for hand quilting? Have you read the tips for how to "rock" your needle, but it just doesn't make sense?

In this DVD, you will learn:

how to place your quilt in a hoop (I did this wrong for years!)
how to hold your needle
how to guide your needle through the quilt layers
your choices of quilting needles
your choices of quilting hoops

And, you can watch as many times as you want to, conveniently on your TV or computer.

Looking for a safe place to park your needles while you take a break?

Poke them into the paper top or bottom of a spool of thread. Leaving a whisp of thread makes the needle easier to see.

Be sure to check for needles that have fallen inside and remove them before you throw the spool away.

Peeling off the paper will allow them to come out.

Needle cases made of wool fabric or quilted with wool batting keep needles from rusting forever!

And, did you know that using a pin cushion stuffed with human hair will keep your needles sharp and prevent rusting?

Happy Quilting!
