No you are not. There are also several posts about quilting on your sewing machine. It is not exactly fun but it is possible. If you have a vintage sewing machine you might want to consider quilting on that. many have alrger openings and are pretty powerful. Besure to get some quilting gloves, thinner batting that can be quilted further apart like warm and natural and puddle your quilt doing sections at a time.
I do think nothing is as comfortable as a hand quilted quilt. It is very beautiful and there is nothing like it. IMHO
