I do both hand and machine quilting, and some times in the same quilt, I find hand work very relaxing, so like to do it at night while TV is on. When I learn how to use my big quilting machine will use all three methods on a quilt as needed.

I do a little bit of machine quilting, but hand quilting is still my first love. I also find myself doing more hand piecing. As I am the one who usually takes my mother in law to doctors appointments or when she needs to go to the hospital or whatever, I sit there and work on these things. I also take the projects on vacation with me. I also enjoy doing it in the evenings when watching TV or spending time with my sweetheart.

Another hand quilter here! Find it more relaxing than trying to use the machine. Machines are against me anyway. When I sit down at my machine, it seems to know instinctively that it's time to do it's thing--bobbin runs out of thread, needle breaks, tension under material goes haywire and bunches up the stitches, thread breaks. No thanks!!!!
