Bunny Hill and other people still produce patterns for hand embroidery. Just google it and you will see many companies. I also still like to hand embroider even though I have two bernina's that have a module and nice built-ins. I like them both. I agree that they each have their place and are appropriate for certain tasks on both sides of the spectrum. Just like quilting. I like the hand quilting and the machine. There is skill involved in both. Just because it is machine done, doesn't make it automatic.
