Hello and welcome from Michigan. I do hand quilting, but I have way too many tops waiting to be quilted, so I'm going to try some machine quilting. If you want to try hand quilting, make a small wallhanging with some scraps and practice on that. It takes a little practice to get nice even stitches and even longer to get your stitches both small and even. Aim for even stitches and smaller stitches will come with time and practice. It's a lot of fun if you enjoy handwork!
