Default How to hand quilt ?

I know I am always wanting to learn new things & I've been reading a lot about hand quilting. I've seen lots of different ways to do it on the web. I've seen quilting on a frame, on a hoop with a stand, hoop on your lap, no frame or hoop at all, etc. Also, different people use different threads to hand quilt with. Alex Anderson uses quilting thread where others use Perle cotton. I am seeing that just like in all phases of quilting, there are so many different ways/supplies/techniques to hand quilting. I'm thinking about starting out with very little investment & with a very small project (like a pot holder) to see if I think it is something that I might explore further.

Any suggestions, help or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Oh, and one other question. Does anyone piece their quilts by machine & then quilt by hand?
