Several years ago I asked a quilt shop owner (quilting police) if she gave classes on quilt-as-you go. She brushed me off and implied the only way to quilt was by hand and not by machine.
Personally I think there are too many quilts to make and too little time to do everything by hand even though I love to do hand sewing and quilting as time allows. I admire anyone who does all hand quilting however.
