When I first started serious quilting about 10 years ago I thought it was only a 'real' quilt if it was hand quilted. I started to change the way I thought about 18 months ago when I realised I had so many quilts in me but at the rate of 2 or 3 a year hand sewn I would never get all my ideas done! So last October 2010 I took the plunge and bought a Bernina Aurora QE 440 to replace my old second hand sewing machine. I was instantly in love! I must have already sewn about 1/2 million stitches on my Bernina and have made about 6 quilts, many bags and smaller projects. I have noticed though that even though I put so much care and love into everything I make, because I make them quicker by machine, I don't feel as connected to them. Even my daughter has said she prefers me to hand sew the quilts I make for her. What do you think?
Kind wishes,
Carol
