I don't sew/ piece by hand...just never thought to do it...but I do like handquilting.....it is relaxing to me. I do not do much h/q....have a L/A.... And I do know from this board there are quite a few who piece/quilt exclusively by hand. But, thank heaven for the invention of the sewing machine...in my world anyway.....
