I dislike hand quilting, and when arthritis made it too difficult for me, I gladly turned to machine quilting, and consider myself good at it--on a domestic machine But, I don't understand the reverence in which many fibre people hold quilting. It is just another technique.

Now that I've retired, I had planned to pursue my quilting again -- but what's the point if I have to complete with professional quilting machines! Sounds to me like the "art" of quilting has been taken over by the machine age!Nancy Worrell designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02619181280932661844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-78159309310590214342016-09-07T16:21:17.153-04:002016-09-07T16:21:17.153-04:00As I approach my 62nd birthday, the warranty on my...As I approach my 62nd birthday, the warranty on my hands, wrists, and shoulders seems to have run out--and I love to hand quilt!

And yeah, standing all day to do a quilt is tough. <br /><br />Regarding the snobbishness, I think there's a huge difference in having a quilting design tailored to the message/design of the top, and having an all-over computerized design auto-stitched across it. <br /><br />I'm a bit of a micro-manager on my design stuff, so it is hard for me to let go control. However at the same time, I'm not interested in getting better at free-motion quilting, as I prefer to design tops. Rarely do people even notice the quilting anyway, unless that's a primary focus.<br /><br />I've stitched the Lord's Prayer into the border of a quilt and had to point it out. (Don't ask. Never again.)Leigh in Portland (we are not burning down)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06372544021604211747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-6824825141535645852016-09-07T10:07:06.226-04:002016-09-07T10:07:06.226-04:00A comparison that occurs to me is architecture.
