I would love to learn to hand quilt, I think it would be nice to know how to do both. You can't always take a sewing machine with your when you go to other peoples homes and want something to do in the evening.
I just wish I could find somebody who would be willing to show me how to properly set up a quilt on a hoop, can't afford a quilt frame, then show me the proper way to hand quilt either with or without the Aunt Betty.
