I know what you mean about hand quilting becoming rare; when I go to quilt shows only a small percentage of the quilts are hand quilted.
My machine quilting is coming along slowly. I've quilted about five baby quilts and a lap quilt for myself. In the ditch or cross hatching is easy enough, but free hand quilting is hard for me. I'd like to be able to stipple(or meander) stitch well, but it always turns into spirals. They look okay but, I want to be able to do what I set out to do.
I just finished the tops for two more baby quilts and will start machine quilting them next weekend. I got backing and batting yesterday.
