Hand-applique for me!! I don't know if it becomes easier, because its actually a very easy technique. I just think you become more at ease and start to enjoy more.
Just relax and enjoy!!! :D :D No worries!!!

I don't have the patience for needle-turn. I did it a few times and I just like the look of satin-stitched applique better. I think I select patterns that fit the machine method better. I am sure if I was planning on making an antique-looking quilt or a show quilt, I would go with hand-applique, but since most of my quilts are quilts kids use, I like making sure that my applique is VERY secure.

It depends on the look I want. I do enjoy needle turn.
a hint? get some of those little applique pins. I'm cheap so I kept using my regular pins. My thread would get tangled. I got some of the little pins and have been kicking myself for not doing it sooner.
