Quiltstitcher.web-log.nl: Hand quilting: "I hope some day in the near future I can actually see someone hand quilting. To me it is still hard to find the method of hand quilting which gives me nice stitches( I am struggling with fabric bulk at seamallowances) and doesn't hurt my pelvis to much. At our course we were told to sit at a table and let the table support the quilt ring. But when I sit at a high chair my pelvis really acts up. I need to sit in my rest-chair and lean back a little to relax my pelvis. Unfortunately that causes pain in my shoulders when I quilt. Well, I keep searching for a good way for me to do it."
I would suggest looking at craft fairs or shops and asking there for help in technique - Or even quilting clubs as talked about below! :)
