Are the stitches the same size on the back, as on the front? I get really tiny on the back, but larger on the front. I really have a tough time with this. This is very clear. THANKS!

@bikrgran The stitches are typically much smaller on the back.

i like your video very much!!! i studied hand quilting a few years ago, but i didn't have a quilt in progress then, i was just studying the process. but now i have my finished quilt top, and last night i was on my hands & knees pinning backing, batting & quilt top together, and now i'm ready to hand quilt!!! so your video has been a great refresher for me!!! haha! and i LOVE your analogy to building a curved fence! that makes so much sense in my brain!!!

@misfitknits Thanks! I'm always glad when this helps someone out! Good luck with your project!

So what type of frame do you use for a bed quilt?

[amyalamode]

@missmorgan04 You can use the same size hoop. Even with the 42" square quilt only a small portion of it is in the hoop at a time. Or you can get a big quilting frame that you sit at like a table, but it takes up a ton of space (as much as a big table does).
