Hi
I have just completed the piecing on an EPP tabletopper and am having trouble deciding the best way to quilt it??

What do all you Epp people do.....do you stick with the handwork and handquilt or do you machine quilt?

I've only hand quilted mine, sometimes a quarter of an inch inside the seam line when the patches are larger, and sometimes outlining a flower.

The choice is yours. Whatever look you like. When I am trying to decide what to do, I do a sample block to see what look or effect I like best. Very beautifully done. Love your setting choices:)

Beautiful! The choice really is yours. However, a friend of mine did a table topper like this and machine quilted it and was unhappy with the way it looked. I like the idea of doing a sample piece to see which way you like best. It is a lot more work that way, but then you are sure about your decision.
