Welcome Jade. I wish I had enough patience to hand quilt - maybe some day.! Post pictures of your quilts! We love pix.

Hand quilters, machine quilters, tie quilters ...... lazy quilters like me! I piece for fun and quilt because you have to!

Hi from Missouri.
We all welcome you and would love to exchange ideas and thoughts on quilting. Love the look of hand quilting for the special quilts I do, but some quilts (like for the grandkids beds) don't get this special treatment. Some of my art quilts get a combination of both quilting styles. Just ask a question and we will all reply.

Welcome from Utah. I actually have been hand quilting since I was young but it is getting hard on my wrists so I am learning...slowly ... to machine quilt. Not very good at it yet but I love practicing! You will be able to learn alot here!

I hand quilt almost everything. I've made about 15 quilts now, and have only machine quilted one, for a baby. I love hand quilting, it just brings me peace (or should I say piece?). I love the look and feel of the quilt, and watching the progress on my quilts.

Welcome aboard!

Hello & Welcome :-D

I've done both hand and machine quilting. It just depends on the project. I did a sampler and started hand quilting it on a huge quilting frame that my husband bought me. I hated it. I couldn't manage sewing different directions when I couldn't turn the quilt. Anyway... I ended up taking the quilt out of the big frame and machine quilting the sashing and then putting the quilt in my small quilting frame and hand-quilting the blocks. It turned out great. There are SEW many choices on piecing and quilting that it makes for many decisions as you go. Welcome to the board.

Hello from North Carolina and welcome to the best board ever. I have hand quilted, but because I work full time, I prefer to machine quilt and embroider.

I've been trying to learn machine quilting, but I LOVE to hand quilt! There's just something relaxing about it! :)

Greetings!

I am a hand quilter, in general. I have machine quilted a few, in time crunch or required by the type of quilt. Hand work is so relaxing after running a busy schedule all day.

Glad you joined us here. Hope to hear more from you as you become more familiar with the board.
:wink:
