Do you prefer the look of Machine applique to that of hand applique?

I like them both. I do love the look of needle turn appliqué but it is very time consuming so I understand the popularity of machine quilting. They both have merit, and both look nice when the method fits the intended design.

I love hand applique but I never do it; my arthritis keeps me from doing quality handwork. I only do machine applique, particularly since almost all my applique is done for children and I want it sturdy. I started doing applique on clothing when my now 33 year old son was a baby. After all, what other decorative technique can you do on little boy play clothes?
