    how many quilt all of their quilts? I bought a Mega quilter several years ago, was never able to quilt with it, I got so frustrated with it, I sold it. Do most of you have long arm quilting machines or quilt with your regular machines?

    I quilt my own on my brother that only has a 6in. arm. I did an over sized king on it last week but it was just straight fancy stitches. If I could afford a long arm with a frame I would buy it in a heart beat.

    I do most of mine on my regular machine, but I don't know how to do anything too fancy. I have a friend who longarms the larger ones for me, unless it's going to be a simple stitch in the ditch. That I can manage (O:
