Thank you for watching 😊
I have met this amazing quilter. I need to know,as I can’t remember how to start,with knot !
Hi Kathleen, thank you for watching!
From my own hand quilting experience
- make a small knot at the end of the thread; pass the threaded needle through just the top layer of the quilt, (an inch away from where you wish to start, and then back up at the point where you are starting to stitch) gently pull the thread and listen for a 'pop' as the knot disappears into the work.
I hope this helps - Katie : )
I need to find a smooth thimble. Her technique makes the most beautiful stitches

This is an amazing video! Thank you so much for sharing. I'm working on hand quilting a simple log cabin queen size quilt and I want to try this method because I'm having a little trouble keeping the stitches on the underside consistent. I can keep the spacing fairly consistent when looking from the top, but the stitches aren't grabbing as much fabric as I want on the underside and I think having a smooth thimble on the underside, like the video describes, would help. But I can't find a smooth thimble anywhere. I don't have a used thimble that is smooth; is there a smooth-tip thimble you can buy or should I sand/grind down the top of a thimble to make it smooth? Thank you for any advice!
Hi Matthew, when I was recording the video, the thimble looked a bit like these amzn.to/3qWvr2f - a little smoother than regular thimbles. I hope this helps and thank you for watching : )

I’ve been hand quilting for over 40 years and I only use one thimble on dominant hand. My other hand has developed calluses from pricking my fingers with the needle.
Thank you for watching 😊
Thanks for the post . Wondering if all stitches go right through to the back ? I use old blankets for wadding , do you think that would work ?? Appreciate any comments . I get old blankets from junk shops . They make super warm blankets but are quite thick . I do use the thinnest oldest blankets possible . Cheers Pat nz
Yes all the stitches go through to the back.
I suggest creating a sample / test piece. Depending upon the thickness of the layers you may need to adjust the stitch length or frequency of the stitches.
Thank you for watching 😊
@@ArnoldsAttic Thanks, great advice. Will try. Thrilled that you replied and so quickly. Godbless, Pat nz
You’re very welcome 🧵🪡😊
Beautiful work Ma’am, question, can you tell me do you hand quilt through all 3 layers? Thanks
Yes the quilting is stitched through all three layers. I’m so glad you enjoyed it 😊
I’d love to SEE what that thimble and needle are doing underneath.
Thank you for watching and for leaving a comment.
I understand.
The filming was captured in a very short space of time and I wanted to capture the essence of Sandie’s work.

👋Buen video 👍
:) Thank you
Where can I get the thimble you use on under the quilt.
Hi Lori,
I am sure Sandie with be able to assist you via her website welshquilting.design/wp/contact/
Thank you for watching 😊
What an artist you are! Now, I have a couple of questions. I did not quite get how you described the needle you used under your work. Could you please explain what it is. Also, I was just wondering if you ever experience any problems with your upper arms/shoulders from all the quilting. When I quilt for an extended time, I have to put an ice pack on my shoulder/upper arm to keep it from "acting up". Thank you. I also am going to order the Bohin needles.
Hi Edna, I'm so happy you enjoyed the UA-cam, please fell free to check out Sandie's other videos ua-cam.com/video/6NMBBRn9YIA/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/njt9AhsF6o8/v-deo.html
Regarding your questions, I suggest you contact Sandie Lush via her website sandielush.co.uk.
Thank you, Katie : )
I use a smooth thimble underneath Edna which forms a barrier that forces the needle back up to the surface.
If you can balance the needle between the top and underneath thimbles and bring the thumb on your sewing hand forward so that when you rock the needle you hand is open (rather than clutching the needle), it takes the strain off your wrist and therefore rest of your arm. Also sitting with your back supported will help. All this is not as easy as it sounds and will take practice, but it really helps. Good luck and happy stitching! Sandie
@@mummykool Where do I find a smooth thimble? I’ve looked everywhere but can’t find any without holes. Thank you!
@@stonecrestquilt Bonedrymusic.com have a guide to what size thimble you will need. They are nice thimbles but if you don't want to wait for one of their thimbles to ship from the USA, you can try typing your size 'domed thimble' into Google. Hemline ones seem readily available. I'm not sure how well they fit, but you can always tape it onto your underneath finger if it feels loose. Looks like they also have some on Ebay and Etsy. Given you make holes in the underneath thimble after a while, don't buy a really expensive one !

Какая тонкая работа 👌👁️
Thank you 🙏 🪡🧵
Also I agree with the Craig family,inasmuch as it’s impossible to see sometimes,with hand being in the way!

Absolute beautiful work but the camera angle at the start makes it difficult to see what your doing because your hand is in the way but when it moves it’s possible to see but I imagine it’s years of practice to get to that level of hand quilting

I give the camera person an F! You can’t see what she is doing because the camera is focusing on the top of her hand. So disappointing 😕
Thank you for watching 😊
Thank You for sharing how to hand quilt. This has helped me ♥️
