    I prefer to send it out, especially larger quilts--and if they do the binding, its a sure thing!

    I prefer to bring it to my mom (who has a long arm) but since that`s not very feasible I tend to hand quilt

    Machine quilting. I have never made a big quilt but only mini quilts and those are easy to quilt.

    I've only made a couple of quilts, and I've straight line machine quilted them all so far. I'm hoping to learn FMQ next year. :)

    I like machine quilting. Don't have the patience to hand quilt or the fund-age to send them out.

    I prefer to machine quilt mine so far. Someday I might try to accent with hand quilting but not so far.

    I have only finished one quilt and I machine quilted it.. I don't know if I would hand quilt one unless I was planning on it being a super heirloom-y piece.. Or something small :)

    I have a friend that has a long arm, so I take large quilts to her. I do smaller ones myself on my sewing machine. Thanks for the giveaway! Merry Christmas!

    I love the look of hand quilting, but tend to do both machine quilting and sending my tops to longarmers.

  31. Jodi15 December, 2011 08:08

    I don't know yet which way I will go. I am currently hand piecing my first block of my first ever quilt. I guess I will have to make several quilts and try all of the options before I can decide which I prefer.

    I prefer hand quilting. I sit on the couch, with the quilt over me and stitch away. I feel like it's my time with the quilt, since I'm giving it away (I've only made quilts that I've given away). Once it's given, I won't get a chance to snuggle under it anymore. Thanks for the giveaway! robyn(dot)geddes(at)gmail(dot)com

    I like to do both depending on what I am quilting.

    I prefer machine quilting as I always feel like it will last longer (I don't always trust my hand stitches lol) but hand quilting is relaxing. :-)

    I just recently got a long arm and I love it but it doesn't compare to hand quilting - to me that's the best

    My grandma says the only way to really quilt is by hand, and so I am trying to learn

  38. Eema-le16 December, 2011 09:37

    I've only done machine quilting so far, but I do enjoy "tedious" handiwork (petit point, embroidery, beading) so I have a feeling that I would really enjoy hand quilting as well.

    I love both hand and machine quilting. I have never sent a quilt away but there is always a first time for everything.

  41. Tawny16 December, 2011 12:19

    I would love to send them out to a long arm quilter if I had the money. But since I don't, I usually hand stitch mine. :)

    I prefer to send it out. I'm not persnickety enough to get a good result with the quilting part !

    If I have no deadlines, I do enjoy quilting by hand, it's very therapeutic! Most of my quilts, however, I fmq.

    I prefer hand quilting in theory, machine quilting in practice. I feel you can't say you made it if you pay someone to do half the work - I mean, in the quilt books, they'll give credit to the longarm quilter as well as the piecer, right? So I wouldn't feel right about saying "I made you this" if I honestly hadn't done anything but piece it and pay someone else to quilt it (or have their computer quilt it).

    I prefer machine quilting the small stuff but if it's anything larger than a lap quilt I can't handle it so I have to send it out.

    Thanks for the great giveaway!
