All this reading about quilt making has more and more questions coming to mind. Thanks! :?:
I prefer to hand quilt but due to time constraints and the fact that my arthritis in my hands is slowly getting worse, I've begun learning to machine quilt. I hand quilt the quilts that are special to me, those I want to keep or that I want to do exceptionally well at a show or the fair. If it is for a baby, is a wall hanging, or for something that is going to be used like a quilted tablecloth, then I machine quilt it. Machine quilting is also great if you have a lot of projects that you need to get done. If it weren't for machine quilting I would still have over 100 UFOs instead of the measely 90 I have now. (I know, I know, that's still a horrid amount but it's at least going down now instead of increasing!)
