people have been piecing and quilting with machines since they were invented over 150 years ago. Why o why does this snobbery still exists. Both techniques are judged separately in a show. Why do quilters "judge" so harshly. Family portraits used to be painted! Lol! Hand piece if you want to...not my idea of sanity!
