I do handquilting - not perfect but I find it relaxing - I also do some machine quilting on small projects. Both are nice it is just what your time limit is and what you prefer.

I just love to hand quilt. It is so relaxing and looks so pretty when completed.

I am handquilting my very first. I am in learning mode and the stitches are not as neat and tiny as I might like but have been told by others on this board it will happen with practice and time. I actually am impressed that I can do it at all.

I am from the old school it doesn't seem like a quilt unless it is hand done.
