I love my hand quilting. I have so much control when Im using my fingers. I don't know how to machine quilt. I see all of these beautiful quilts everyone whips out. It takes me weeks to piece together and then do the hand quilting. I also hand stitch baby bonnets and bibs and everything else that I can. I take alot of pride in my hand quilting. I'm not saying anything to hurt anyones feelings. I wish I knew how to machine quilt to make some things faster but...........
