I must be weird, 'cos I LOVE the hand stitching part.
I love the hand part also!
I would love to love the hand stitching part but, alas, I was not gifted with the skill of nice handsewing. Add to that tendonitis in my elbows & arthritis in my fingers. Well, let's just say that handsewing is now just wishful thinking. Thank goodness I've gotten pretty good with a method using the sewing machine. I would maybe consider paying for someone to do handsewn binding, if a particular quilt would best be done that way.
If you can do a good blanket stitch or whatever on a machine---------it ought to be good for a really nice quilt, too.
My hands kill me------------but I can still do a couple hours of hand sewing before squalling. Don't know how long that's going to last.
