Hi -
I have been experimenting with quilting with my thumb after I watched Alex quilt that way. So far, I really like it. My stitches are a little wobbly, but the payoff is that I don't have to keep spinning the hoop around - which is really convenient for blocks where I am quilting in circle or triangles. I completed one block much faster than just one way quilting with my finger.

Does anyone have any tips for thumb quilting, especially keeping the lines straight?

I will practice, practice, practice.

Becky
