Right now I'm working on a project that requires quite a bit of hand stitching. I'm really excited about the project because it is a great way to use up scraps and it is just very, very neat. Once I'm done, I'll tell you more about it. Sometimes the excitement of a project wears off and I decide it isn't doable in the end. Don't want to get you all jazzed up for nothing...
But I wanted to ask what everyone thinks of hand stitching? I used to dread it, but once I got good at it, and had reliable results, that all changed. Now I look forward to it, since I usually sit and do it while watching movies on my computer (no tv). It is a time for me to relax.
If you aren't fond of sewing by hand and find it frustrating, I just wanted to point out a two blog posts you might find helpful:

So do you hate hand stitching, love it, or have you just accepted it as a necessary evil of sewing?
