Thread: Quilting

Can you use machine quilting and hand quilting on the same quilt?

I don't see why not, it's your quilt and there are no quilt police.

I feel the same way. :thumbup:

Your quilt: your choice .... You are your OWN "quilt police" ....

But, if you plan to enter into competition ..... rules vary ..... so check first .....

Really, are you sure? I have heard legendary stories about the quilt police and have been looking over my shoulder when I know I'm doing somethig "wrong"!

IF you are sure - whew, I feel better!

Of course. My friend strted quilting one by hand and I finished it for her with my embroidery machine. it worked great/

I'm doing one now that I had more then half of it finished
with my machine and now I'm finishing it by hand, it had way to many curves to do with the machine so I decided to do it this way. :D

Absolutely.

If the machine quilting is going to be done on a longarm, be sure to do the machine quilting first. If you do the hand quilting first you run the risk of damaging the quilt top while applying tension with the longarm.

Anything goes.
