I only hand quilt but know lots of machine quilters who laugh at me. I am lucky to sit at work before my classes begin and hand quilt. My students always stop to see how far I've gotten and are impressed that the old style is still going strong for some. LOL! One student brought his daughter to come see the work I've done, she immediately told her dad to buy me a machine so that I could produce my work quicker. Too Funny!
