    I only hand quilt, never machine. Have occasionaly tied a quilt but those have been thick crazy quilts.

    I just started quilting last year and only consider hand piecing and quilting. Machines seem to have something against me. I have a sewing machine but only use it when nothing else will work. As soon as I start sewing on the machine, things happen--the bobbin thread runs out, the thread gets tangled on the underside of the material and on and on and on. When I hand piece/quilt, all is slower but much more relaxing.

    I agree! Much easier to correct mistakes when done by hand.

    I do both. Machine quilting is faster and can be very beautiful but hand quilting is my first love. The more you do it the more proficient you become.

    99.9% machine quilt (or send it to a LAQ). I have been trying some hand quilting.

    I hand quilt. I've tried a little on the machine - and I imagine I could get the hang of it. I just really prefer the look of hand-quilting. And it keeps me sane (sorta) and out of trouble!
