I have finally assembled the squares I need to make a childs patchwork quilt. I was originally going to borrow a machine but that's no longer possible hence my question.
I have never owned a machine and not too sure if I will get much use from one. Have no idea what to look for in a second hand one so I think I either buy one of the cheapest ones I can find or woud it be possible (even if very slow) to hand sew the pieces and then construct the quilt and edging?
Can any sewers give their views? (Something at the back of my mind thinks a cheap machine may not be even able to do a thick quilt)
