Starting the Quilt Stitch

Place needle a short distance from the starting point, without going through the back and draw through.

needle in

Give a slight tug until you hear a "pop". That "pop" tells you the knot has been caught in the batting. To end, make a knot close to the fabric. Insert needle at the ending and exit a short distance away and tug until you hear the "pop".

needle out

In both instances, make sure you do not include the backing.
