Never heard this debated before, and it was heated!
Any thought on this ladies?
PS... I left and went home to quilt
I piece tops. I have no interest in the hand quilting to attack layers together. I don't care what I get called.
I do know that you can get into some ugly discussions when machine quilting/long arm quilting enters the mix. One of the women at church insists that the only true quilting is piecing by hand and quilting by hand. LIKE HER MOTHER DID. But she can't do it, she just expects us to.
