I have only sent 1 quilt to be machine quilted (my king sized bed quilt for my husband). My machine is not big enough to handle such a big quilt. And I made it with batik fabrics so it was very heavy. I usually stitch in the ditch or do a simple grid pattern. Been praticing with the BSR. I think I am getting pretty good, just not brave enough to use on a quilt I am giving away.
