for me it's a mixed bag. Adding pre-strung Egyptian fringe is hand work. As is adding crystals, and other things. mainly because of the ease factor - both kinds!

I do use my sewing machine for certain jobs which are faster and easier - covering gros grain with decorative ribbons, making belt bases, but everything else is by hand.

(A side issue with my sewing machine is that it doesn't have a very long shank so heavy materials don't work well with it. I can't work through the pockets of my son's jeans when necessary to do those repairs.)
