I admire hand quilters, but your reasons are why I like long arm quilting. I also tend to make queen and king quilts,which are easier to handle on a long arm rather than a domestic machine, at least for me.

2. I hate having to wrestle with what ever I am working on.
At least when I am hand quilting it is easier to adjust the project.
I guess to each his own. I am machine quilting this one because I do not have time to finish by hand.
This just proves that I am a hand quilter at heart.
Thanks for listening.
