I'm not fond of hand-quilting through lots of seam allowances, but then who is. I don't particularly like appliqué, I'll piece wherever possible, and I can piece pretty much anything.
Don't laugh, but I cannot for the life of me use a sewing machine. I have tried, believe me I have tried. I'm housebound due to disability, so I can't get out to classes, and everyone assumes you can go to classes, including the near-useless manual from the manufacturer. I've had my neighbour show me. I've got books out of the library. I've asked people online. I've also had some people online make excruciatingly condescending comments about how it's dead easy and you just need to know about five things, which was not helpful (oddly, treating someone like an idiot rarely is). One of these days, when I have enough money, I will find someone to come and give me lessons, and it'll need to be someone who can cope with my cognitive dysfunction and keep reteaching me the basics until they get past the memory problems and sink in somehow.
