I did hand quilting when I started in 1965 or 1966, no machine quilting then, only hand quilting about 2 dozen quilts. A very slow process, I started machine quilting about 2004 or 2005 and have made lots and lots of quilts since then. At age 66 I want to make them fast and try to use up some of the lots and lots of fabrics I have.
Hand quilting is beautiful and I appreciate the art of it but, not for me.
