Welcome to the board from Southern California.
There are many many hand quilters on here as well as those that like to do hand piecing as well.
I am not one of those, however. I like to use my machine!!!

Welcome Jade. I only hand quilt. I had to machine quilt once to finish some table runners for Christmas, because my husband was laid off and needed something in a hurry and was short on money. I machine quilted 25 and swore I would never machine quilt again. Just did not enjoy it in the least. I will say I am doing my dog a quilt and I will stitch in the ditch, by machine. But for humans I hand quilt.
There are many wonderful machine quilters on here, just not my cup of tea. Would love to be able to chat and share ideas with another hand quilter, there are quite a few of us on this board.
Forever a hand quilter.

Hi from Southern California. I have been a hand quilter for years, but just got a long arm. I love the look of hand quilting, it's so much softer than machine, but stippling made me a bit loony, so that is why I got the long arm.

Hi Jade Welcome to the Board. I only hand quilt --I know i like the look of it better - but also because my machine won't machine quilt other than straight lines with a walking foot ;-)
Got questions - ask - would be glad to help. Have you been handquilting long ?
