Started out just hand quilting for years. Have started to do more machine itd and fm quilting in the last year or so. I'm still working on prefecting my talent on the machine. No matter what I think I will always have something going in the hand quilting area.

I have hand quilted for years and have taken up machine quilting in the ditch and free motion in the last several years so am still prefecting that. Will always have some hand quilting going.

I hand quilt.
It's very relaxing and I prefer the look of it. |
I do both but prefer to hand quilt.

Do and enjoy both, there is just something about the look of hand quilting that cannot be duplicated.

Both date from the 1960s. The Singer I have is probably older, but not like the antiques I've seen online here. I carry my quilts everywhere and quilt at swim meets, on long car trips and even during my lunch hour at work! Don't tell anyone but I even have quilted at stop lights on the S-L-O-W ride home through Atlanta traffic. |
I have only hand tied so far but am going to try to quilt the next one has anyone tried the quilt as you go way may try that next time

I machine piece and hand quilt everything. It is what I enjoy the most about quilting. It is so relaxing and since I can sit anywhere and quilt, especially in the same room as my husband, which I couldn't do if I machine quilted, I just love hand quilting.

I hand quilt. I have done a couple of machine quiltilng, stitch in the ditch, but prefer hand quilting.

I hand quilt my quilts. I am not a good on the sewing machine, so I'm afraid I am going to mess up my quilt. It is easier to remove the stitches in hand quilting
