I can see that the machine quilting would be fun if you are running the machine by hand. I had a B-line frame set up to try it out, but my home machines all wouldn't work well on it and the tension was imposable to get right. I still have it and may get an expensive machine to give it another try. It was a lot of fun when you are steering around the machine and my granddaughter had a ball too. But the underside when we finished was all loopy and no matter what I did with the tension and the thread and the needle, nothing worked. I need a Juki I guess to try it again. If that didn't work, all the money would be down the drain. I don't want a big fancy outfit like the quilt stores have. Just something I can do at home. Oh well. Someone needs to make a huge bobbin too.
