Do what you are comfortable with, not what everyone else says you have to have to do the job. My Kia gets me to the same places a Cadillac would.

With you on this!!! I always tell everyone all you need to machine piece and or quilt is a machine with a straight stitch. If you like hand work just a needle and thread. I have gone to groups before that are a little snobish - I usually just try to steer away from those people and/or don't go back for seconds.
