I was just curious as to how many people still did hand quilting vs machine quilting? Ive done both but prefer to hand quilt as I feel it adds more personality to the quilts I make for my grandkids. The lst quilt I had done by machine was a double wedding ring and the lady didnt tell me it was her lst shot at machine quilting so she bunched it up and basically ruined it. I was afraid to try again for about 10 years but the last one I had done was wonderful! I think the machine quilts might hold up longer if they are used but I just love the look of a hand quilted quilt!

I don't hand quilt any of mine, due to hand issues. I quilt most items on my longarm. Quicker for me too!

I enjoy my machine and not only machine quilt but do the binding totally by machine. We should all do what we enjoy. A friend only hand quilts and I love her quilts. She enjoys it so much in f ront of the fire place in the winter.

I do both! I currently have one of each going right now. One on the LA and one in my lap hoop. I love having handwork to do and I love doing MQ too. Granted I can complete a heck of a lot more MQ quilts to my HQ. The HQ I have right now, I have MQ 4 and am on my 5th! This is with some piecing mixed in too. But I can't stand not having some sort of handwork in the evenings while watching TV. It is a rare day that I don't do any handwork at all but I can go weeks without touching my LA. I can't wait to baste my next HQ project on the LA. The basting/sandwiching process I hated more than anything but on a LA it is a piece of cake.

I will never give up either unless health issues force me to and I don't have any issues now. Knock wood!!

I don't have the patience to do hand... I'm a machine lady all the way. Plus now i have a LA so its even better!

I machine quilt because I am so slow at hand quilting, though I love the look of it. I make too many tops to hand quilt at the rate I go.

Machine or longarm here! no time or patience for hand.
