    I hand quilt all my quilts. To me that is the art of quilting. I love doing it, gives me tranquility and also at the same time get to watch a movie on TV without being bored.

    I love hand quilting so I always do it myself. I even hand quilt for others and I sure don't get paid per hour what it's worth, but I just love helping others complete their quilts.

    I also do all my own quilting. I like that everything done was done by me, oops included. I have learned so much this way and became more creative.

    i agree with you there, Hand quilting is my stress releif, many a quilt has been started and finished in a crisis.

    i quilt my own, either with my sewing machine or rented longarm from my LQS. i'm just too cheap to pay someone else to do the work. plus, i love the whole process from planning, piecing, quilting, binding to gifting.

    I do both. My mom has a long arm and she does a few for me but I usually hand quilt.

    I hand quilt my quilts. I have only ever machine quilted in the ditch a baby quilt. It was ok, but I am not very good at it. I like to hand quilt.

    One day I would love to own a long arm quilt machine and quilt that way, the work I see on here is just beautiful!
