[QUOTE=Justamom410;5568131]I'm a newbie quilter and I've machine quilted my first 2 quilts that I've made. I want to learn to hand quilt...but haven't asked anyone in my newly joined guild yet if they would teach me. I'm working on project #3 right now and it's for my daughter...so I'd love to learn to hand quilt in order to finish it for her (she's 3)[/QUOTE I have hand quilted for years. I love my handquilting, but it takes alot of time. There are many good videos on youtube that show different ways of hand quilting. I have 2 very different quilting frames, I like the smaller, less expensive one better than the more complicated, more expensive one. I still also quilt in a hoop. I have also just started machine quilting and FMQing. I get a great deal of satisfaction from hand quilting, but sometimes I give in and machine quilt, especially if I need to get something done on a time line. Good luck with your hand quilting, I hope it brings you pleasure for years to come.
