Hi all, I have fibromyalgia (the diagnosis so far), and I get terrible pain in my arms, chest, and back when I do anything that requires strength or control. I used to be an avid knitter/crocheter, but pushing the needles together hurts too much now, and the repetitive motion of the craft makes pain flare-up..SO I've decided to try hand-quilting. I've been on the lookout for tools/gadgets that will make quilting easier for me. I've seen:
- Simpliciy Electric Rotary Cutter Machine, which cuts fabric strips for you
- Accuquilt Go
- Computerized Longarm Machines (totally drool worthy-how cheap can I get one of these anyway? $7000?)
What else is out there? Do you have pain, arthritis, physical limitations and what tools/cutting systems, and machines have you found that help you with quilt crafting? I can use all the help I can get! :)
Thank you!
Gina
