So many hours of hard work, I'm so afraid I'll ruin them. Anyone else have the same phobia?

Even though many of my quilts are for charity quilts I feel bad that I can't give them the same quality of quilting in my machine and the charities only accept machine quilting. My hand quilting is beautiful but my machine quilting not so much.
