I machine stitch on the front, hand stitch on the back, with mitered corners, using a ladder stitch. It goes really fast, and it's almost completely invisible.

Machine stitch the back, and then use decorative stitch for the front.
|
I've done both. Mainly machine stitch on front and hand stitch back, but I have done machine on both. Depends on material and quilt.

I also machine sew the front and hand sew the back - relaxing. What I do first after the binding in on is press the binding flat, turn over to the back and repress, fold over the edges and repress and use hair clip (or the more expensive quilt clips) and clip about every 2-3 inches in place - I do all 4 sides of the quilt leaving the mitered corners to last; when I fold them over I press and clip - easy to do the hand stitching.
Hope this helps |
I machine the front down then do the hand stitching on the back while watching tv or when I need something to do.

I also do the machine stitch on the front and hand stitch the back.

Machine on front and hand stitch on back. My handwork definitely needs more practice.

I have done both hand and machine - just depends on the quilt and what looks best.
