Machine Quilt?

I have to say my hand stitches are not going to win any awards.
The floor hoop works for me. It swivels and that helps. I also have a
simple oval that is about 19"x 11" and it is really easy to work with
and really portable. The more you do the better your stitches will
get. If you aren't in a hurry and do a little work every day sooner or
later you will get it done. Hand quilting on hand pieced work seems to
be easier than machine pieced work.

I'm going to quilt it myself. I guess my thoughts in asking was kind of like
this. I'm not very good with the stitching yet. My stitches are often uneven
and vary in the number per inch. Yes I am very much a beginner in hand
piecing. I was wondering about the durability of machine quilting vs hand
quilting since I'm not really very good with the piecing yet. I tried to
hand quilt on a frame and just could not get the hang of it. I'm left-handed
and it was so uncomfortable. I haven't tried with a hoop so that may be an
option for handquilting and may be a great way to learn. Who knows. :-)
