I don't do much hand quilting any more but it did cross my mind that with machine quilting it is easy to over quilt. I was thinking because if goes so much faster. When I look at a quilt I do not like the quilting to be so dominant that it makes it too stiff or takes front and center, only when it is a whole quilt or the quilting is the reason for the quilt..
