I just develop lovely 'seggs' on my finger tips!<br /><br />I've been using this size of quilting stitch for a while now, on my more modern quilts, I use one ply of 21st Century hand dyed cotton and it's a beautiful combination - very relaxing to do. It's not sashiko, the stitch issmaller than that, but yes, certainly reminiscent of kantha quilts. They look lovely, Lu.Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15385150635938870512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9148779879513233744.post-51960442529776687252012-05-22T10:17:58.146+01:002012-05-22T10:17:58.146+01:00Love it! :)

I used masking tape for a while, wrapped round my finger with an extra bit where I push the needle through, and now I'm using some cushioned plasters from Sainsburys cut into pieces with a little pad of folded tissue underneath. All sounds a bit fiddly and if pushing the needle really hard I think it might poke through, but both methods seem to work pretty well for me and I stitch through fabrics painted with acrylics so they're often quite stiff :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9148779879513233744.post-43958810085844282542012-05-22T05:31:24.442+01:002012-05-22T05:31:24.442+01:00Wow, I love that quilting style.
