Hi! So my question is exactly as it says in the title. Basically I've finished the first part of the hand quilting I want to do, and I was wondering if I could finish the quilt by binding it and everything and then go back to do a second round of hand quilting? Also, I don't know if this would impact the answer but while the blocks are machine pieced all of the quilting has been done by hand. I do know enough that I wouldn't put it through the washing machine until I've done all of the quilting I plan to do.

I want to add detail in the white sections. All of the HST's have been quilted though.

hello all! Long time lurker, first time poster on this sub. I’m hoping to get into hand quilting soon, and was wondering what advice you might have for a newbie! I’ve done machine quilting before (machine piecing and quilting — not long arm, though — with a hand-finished binding) and have done a fair bit of hand sewing and embroidery, just not hand quilting specifically.

Looking for tips on technique and good “bare essentials” equipment, general advice, and any patterns you all might recommend! Don’t be afraid to recommend things that are cool but not explicitly beginner-friendly, either >:) I’m willing to jump in the deep end!
