I think I fall firmly into both weirdo camps. I really am enjoying hand-piecing my GFG and love to hand-quilt, but I will admit I cannot even consider hand sewing a binding on. I like the way it looks done by machine. I will also admit that I enjoy the hand-piecing and hand-quilting mostly because when I sit at the sewing machine for more than an hour or so my back, neck and shoulders start to hurt a lot. I've tried every position and just end up in pain if I machine for too long.
