Hand quilting demo?

I'm working on a big baby quilt right now, and I'm quilting inside each shape. I'm certainly no expert, but I was wondering if anyone would be interested in either product reviews (like "DON'T use the gold Fons and Porter thimble or your finger will turn green. Do use the cheap Dritz one on your middle finger to push the needle, and a super cool rubbery one (Japanese, Little House brand) on your thumb to help pull the needle" etc? ); or a tute on how I hand quilt? As a self-taught quilter, I can tell ya ALL the wrong ways to do things, and maybe help a little....
Anyway, let me know....

I pretty much only do hand quilting. I really don't use a thimble, I just get a really raw finger lol. Just let me know what I can help with!

I'd be interested in knowing what works and what doesn't. I use a "Nimble" thimble on my middle finger, but didn't know there were rubber thimbles for the thumb to pull the needle out. That's a great idea! :)
