Yes, I started in the centre when I quilted my Radiant Poppies quilt. I don't have problems with puckering because I thread baste before I start quilting, and I use a hoop. I hope that helps. Kind regards, Wendy.

Hand piecing and hand quilting are my passion. I do have a question about your Radiant Poppies quilt which you quilted with straight parallel lines. Did you start from the middle of the quilt? Also did you have any problems with puckering? Your response would be most appreciated. It will be great to follow a fellow Wellingtonian. Thanks.

I usually echo hand quilt, and I have done some wiggly lines and even cross hatch. I like your 1" in from the seam hand quilting on the peacock quilt. Do you need to go through seams on a quilt to make it secure or is the 1" from the seam strong enough?<br />I love your work and all of the colour you use, you are such an inspiration me.<br />Pauline<br />perry94022 at hotmail dot comPaulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00219862240226657067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6516557859503396142.post-22915174441655751662017-05-01T22:24:28.571+12:002017-05-01T22:24:28.571+12:00I like my hera marker, but seeing the lines can be...I like my hera marker, but seeing the lines can be a challenge - or is that just me and my shoddy eyesight?<br />I am still hand quilting the secret project and looking forward to sharing it with you soon.

Y...thanks for sharing your ideas and photos Wendy. You do beautiful work. I'm just wondering if you could help me. I've machine quilted in the ditch across a Queen size quilt, and bound it. I'm now working on some hand quilting additions, but it's taking a long time. I'd like to wash the quilt and use it in the mean time. Do you think washing it will mean that any future hand quilting will not work as well? Thanks in advance for any advice!

Particularly the one on the threads you use, and why. I'm presuming the Hera marker is used after the quilt is basted? I've just watched a YouTube video on them, but the woman on it demonstrated on a flat bit of fabric only. I've found them for only $4.75 and free postage on Fishpond, as against $12.70 plus postage on Trade Me, so have bought one to try. Can't beat a bargain! <br />Thanks again<br />MarinaKiwiquilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07140031711904754517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6516557859503396142.post-84875778153070718062017-04-22T17:00:21.244+12:002017-04-22T17:00:21.244+12:00good to see all these hand quilted quilts, like ...good to see all these hand quilted quilts, like you I use a hera marker one of my favourite quilting tools.
