do you use special quilting needles and thread or just use what you have?
I bought quilting thread and needles. Now I just need to get busy and use them on that wall hanging I have so long been working on. LOL

I use needles called "Betweens" for hand quilting tasks, I've gotten used to using the pretty small size. And I use thread that actually says on it, "for hand quilting", I just buy it at Wal-Mart. It's a bit stronger than the regular sewing thread.
You'll do great on that wall-hanging girl!!
