My very fist quilt I started hand stitching. Sat around for 8 months half done. My daughter asked if I was ever going to finish her quilt. I asked her she cared if I tried doing it with machine. She said she could care less how I did it....
The rest is history.
I will NEVER do it by hand again. If I ever enter a show, I will pay someone else to do my binding.
