Hello. Am new to this website & relatively new to quilting. I have pieced & hand quilted 5 of the seven quilts that I have made in the 14 months that I've been quilting. I learned to machine quilt (on my sewing machine) just to see if I could. Did not enjoy. Made a kind-sized bedspread for our bed that I hired done on a long arm. T'was way too heavy to hand quilt. I really enjoy hand quilting; tis very therapeutic. It saves my sanity while my sweet husband plays with the remote control of tv.
