I don't know much about homemade, or hand stitched quilting. I appreciate both how your work on the machine, and your hand stitching looks.
You're sweet, thank you. Honestly, I think this may be my last queen size. It's hard to do on the machine and takes a long time to do by hand. I have 26 blocks done this a.m. but having to take a lot of breaks due to the arm/shoulder/neck strain it takes to muscle the bulk through the machine. And you don't have the control when there's that much bulk pulling away from the needle area.
I love creating the tops and I don't mind quilting smaller projects. I do love the end result in both, though, usually. I am auctioning a bed runner I did where the thread tension messed up and I didn't catch it right away. It's not noticeable on the front and barely on the back in a very limited area. But I am not 100% happy with it so I put up a $150 bed runner for auction starting at $45. I fight my perfectionism daily. It can really get in the way!
