I enjoy quilting by hand. That's the way my grandma taught me. It's relaxing. I just turn on a good movie ,push my desk chair behind my pvc quilt frame,and quilt while I watch the movie.I've done from baby quilts to king size quilts this way.It's not hard at all.I don't have the room for a big quilter,but I wouldn't want one. I'll just keep on doing it the way I was taught.
