hand quilting or machine

Yes hand quiliting is wonder and it also exercisers our minds and our hands and they are more special when we make them by hand than machine, and that is wonderful that your grandmother passed on such a wonderful gift to you.

I don't think the same quality is in the machine quilting. My mum thought me to do hand quilting when I was young, and I enjoyed the endless hours of making my own designs and stitching all the pieces together. I still do hand quilting and the good thing about it is, I can sit in my favourite armchair and relax and watch tv while I am stitching.

I agree with you. My sister makes quits pot holders and a lot of other thing by hand. That's all she dose all day. I guess she has done pretty good. Alot of people come to her wanting her to may thing for them.

I've never quilted by hand, only using a long arm machine, so can't speak on that with any authority. But I can say I do appreciate the hard work it must take to do it by hand, and if you are making something as a gift, I think it would be more appreciated if it were hand made. I know you can't post photos yet (neither can I) but would love to see some of your work when you hit that magic number 500.

I was never taught how to hand quilt. So I machine quilt what they call a puffy quilt. My mother, My sister in law and I made 20 puffy quilts for christmas presents a few years ago. They are really pretty. I would like to learn how to hand quilt someday.
