I have never heard this before. Why would you say this? I ask out of interest and a desire to learn so I hope the question doesn't sound snarky. To me, it would be like saying a hand pieced quilt should last longer than a machine pieced quilt and that doesn't seem to make sense to me. Help out a confused gal, please.
I'm interested in hearing the answer to this question. I've never heard that before and I'm wondering too. I understand your feeling about the detail part...but the long lasting...can you explain please?
