Hi, Ajamrani I would have responded sooner but I just checked my video today to see your question. Yes, this is a big sit-around frame. The women of the 1st Baptist Church of Corona, CA have been meeting every week for about 4 hours to hand quilt to raise money for mission projects. The woman in this video is in her 40s I believe and has been quilting since her teens. I too love to see her in action. Study the way she begins a new stitch after she pulls out the last one.

Oh my, that must take a lot of practice. I just poke the needle straight down, peek at it underneath and come back up. I have the sides rolled up and use a square lap quilting frame. It's taking me forever to quilt a twin bed size project. I'm just not confident enough to do it your way and don't want to mess up my quilt!

Are you using a big sit-around frame? How long did it take before you got so proficient? Inspiring video, BTW!

I did to when I videotaped Michelle. I just wanted a video to look at to practice her "moves." Because of how she quilts she covers more territory and thereby can finish a quilt faster! I just love handquilting!
