I am only new to machine quilting, but I still love to do handwork, so I do a bit of both...I think it adds a different dimension (and a bit of extra "heart").

Have done both hand and machine quilting on the same quilt looked good and the recipient loved it.

Sure you can use both! I have and it turned out beautifully. I think it adds character and more interest.

My friend had aquilt she had stated hand quilting and asked me to finish it. I used my embroidery machine to finish the quilting it came out beautifully. Iwouldn't have thought about doing it that way but now I will consider it again. No quilt police.

I suggest you do as you wish with it. Many people that I know do just as you indicate and their quilts look great.
