How many people hand quilt vs machine quilt?
#23
I have never had quilted and this year is my 1st time trying to machine quilt.. I just tied all the other ones.. I have made many denim quilts but those I just tied or tacked with machine. I also have done t-shirt quilts and those I just did one simple line down the sashes. So still trying to master the machine quilting.. I think it is an acquired skill... Lots of practice

I do both, it depends on the quilt. I'm working on one for my daughter now, hand quilting a Turning Twenty for her sofa. I machine quilted (with decorative stitches) one for my oldest DGD last summer.
I love the look of hand quilting, although my stitches aren't that small.
The machine quilting I do is on my Babylock Espire.

I only hand quilt, it is relaxing.
I tried machine quilting , just can not get the hang of it. Even bought a foot for my machine to try, still a no go. I get too tense - arms & hand start hurting & cramping.
I will stick to my hand quilting ! :-D
