I only hand quilt. I use my machine for the smaller things. When I was younger, my mother was always trying to get us 3 sisters to sew and quilt like she did. One sister never did any, and me and my other sister did some for awhile, but then didn't like it. After I retired, one day it was like it just fell over me, and I have been sewing ever since, and loving it. I do feel so relaxed when hand quilting and sewing in general. I love using the sewing machine my mother gave me, but it frustrates me too when everything starts messing up. Then I go and get my trusted needles out and just sit back with tv on and sew.
