Do you quilt by hand or by machine?
#32
I tried to hand quilt once. As Winnie the Pooh says "Oh bother". It hurt my hands and my stitches were not even close to being even in length and were wobbily. That's when I decided it would be by machine or tied.

I do both. It depends on the quilt. If it's 30's reprints, then I hand quilt or if there is a certain look I want. Sometimes, I machine quilt them and use my embroidery stitches to accent the sashings and borders.

I machine piece, but hand quilt on the beautiful quilting frame that DH made for me. I use a big hoop for baby quilts. I, too, find hand quilting very relaxing.
I'd like to try machine quilting on certain projects though.

Mostly machine quilting. I find I don't like to hand piece, but I do like hand quilting. I try and keep a project going for the hoop in front of the TV. The last one took me 6 years on and off. I am thinking of what my next one will be, but have produced a couple of machine quilts lately.
