I enjoy doing both. This morning I did some machine appliqué with the buttonhole stitch. I like to work on hand appliqué at night while I watch the news. Since I really enjoy both types of appliqué, I do the one I think will look best on the quilt I am making. This past month, I finished two hand appliquéd quilts. I am now working on a machine appliquéd quilt. While I am using the buttonhole stitch on this quilt, I have used a satin stitch on a previous quilt.
