I'm another one! I work at a computer all day and the rhythm of hand quilting/piecing/applique/embroidery is THERAPY for me! I enjoy the intricate designs the most. I have a very basic Pfaff (old tiptronic model) that I love and use for piecing charity quilts and pillowcases and just purchased a simply sixteen (the little stand up on a 4ft frame) to turn out "Quickie" gifts and charity quilts. But my first love is hand quilting - use a lap hoop and/or a hoop stand. It is where I spend MOST of my time!
