Very pretty and pretty hand quilting. It takes so long and that is why I taught myself to machine quilt, so much faster. Since I give most of my quilts away, I doubt many would appreciate all the hours spent to quilt them.

Me too, I wish I could hand quilt , but my fingers are too stiff. Years ago before I started quilting I did Newedlepoint and crewel embroidery.

Invest in a copy of Learn to Machine Quilt with Pat Sloan. Make a small crib size quilt, then read that book cover to cover. THEN sit at your machine and quilt that little quilt. That book gave me such confidence to try machine quilting. Now I love it!! I keep to twin size and under only due to the small space under the neck of my Viking!

I too mostly only hand quilt. I did by a walking foot & will SID with it but am afraid of FMQ. I will always have a hand quilting project going at all times.
