Of course, you could see the stitches on the front of the quilt, but I was wondering how many quilters do it all by machine, or if the hand stitching is preferable. I know there are no "quilt police" lol, but I still want to know what the general consenence is.
Machine stitch all. Don't intend for any of mine to be in a museum and want them to last. Besides I can't do much hand stitching because of arthritis.
