OMG. I didn't even think about the people that use treadles or hand cranks to make their quilts. They would likewise be lumped in with 'home machines.'

Understand that a 1.5" patch is really small. It only takes being off by a thread or two to make a huge impact on your sizes. You might consider working on a larger piece for a little while.
