I use to do hand applique, But I have multiple sclerosis so I only do applique on my sewing machine now because my hands don't work the way they should anymore. I feel if I can still do what I enjoy ( applique and quilting) then doing it by machine is ok with me.
Lynnie you ask if it was ok to do hand applique and machine applique on the same project. I don't see why not. If it pleases you go for it. I think a finished project done well is better than a unfinished project waiting to get done
