I enjoy the hand quilting process. I also can't machine quilt worth a damn but that will be changing soon I hope. I have too many quilts in me wanting to get out and I can't hope to finish them all without doing some by machine. That said, I will hand quilt for as long as I am physically able. I can get a level of detail and control that I don't think is possible with machine quilting, even with somebody as skilled as Green Fairy. Here is a link to my most recently posted pics of my current hand quilting WIP. Do you think that can be done by machine? I don't mean that snarky like I really would like an honest opinion from experienced machine quilters is it possible to quilt those kinds of motifs with that level of detail by machine?
