I always machine stitch 1/8" from edge before I start to prevent fraying & popped seams. I exclusively spray baste because I hate pinning. Sarah Fielke is a great person to follow to get started, but you have to practice a lot and do what works best for you. I do it "wrong" 🤣 but it works for me.

Thanks! It is one of my go-to techniques. I love the contrast, too!

It is made by The Thimble Lady from Australia. It is a sit-upon hoop that has a little part that goes between your legs as you stitch. I love, love, love it! I love it so much that I bought a backup one in case I ever manage to lose or break it. Pricey, but worth it! www.etsy.com/listing/1412...

I don't tend to wash show quilts, so I like to use methods that don't require water to remove. My other favorite method is Hancy Ultimate Pounce powder with their Full Line Stencils. It comes off just by ironing it. Really cool product.

There is a learning curve, but I find it totally relaxing.

Various ways depending on the quilt. For this one I used Frixion heat disappearing pens, which I know are controversial but I've personally never had an issue with them and I like their versatility.

I hear you. It isn't for everyone. I had the same hesitations, but it turned out that I loved hand quilting. Now the creation of the top and the quilting are two distinctly different things to me. The tops usually "marinate" for a long time before they make it to the top of the "to be quilted" pile.

This is exactly why I started hand quilting. I didn't want to pay to send them out, but machine quilting on anything other than a completely utilitarian quilt stressed me out. Hand quilting takes forever but I genuinely love doing it, so that is what I do now.
