i quilt every quilt on my kenmore sewing machine i have done from lap to king size the bigger ones are harder to do and take longer (because i have to stop and rest my shoulders) but i have to work with what i can afford, i would love to get a sewing machine with a bigger throat spce but everytime i try to save for one the money needs to go for something else more important !!

It can be quite expensive. Maybe I should try my own machine quilting, but I just don't have the time to practice to be good. I have alot of excuses, don't I?

I do aLl my quilting on my machine :) I find it fun to come up with new ideas and challenge myself with different designs. Ive learned alot and I know my seam ripper is my friend at times! I made a table runner for my future step mother and she thought I brought it to a long arm quilter..she was amazed I did it all free motion on her old necchi machine!
