To hand-quilt, you need to select a stronger thread than that used for normal stitching. There are several brands of quilting thread on the market. Choose a color of quilting thread that will either blend or contrast with the fabrics for the top and backing; the choice is yours. If you wish, you can use different colors in the same quilt. You will use a special needle called a “between,” and you should select a 9, 10, or 12. The larger the number, the smaller the needle. Hold the quilt top flat either in a frame or in a hoop.
