Used to only hand quilt til I got waaaay too many tops done and fingers not enjoying the hand quilting process anymore. I had been quilting on my Janome with only a 5" neck space and got carpel tunnel issues...then DH bought me a Phaff Grand Quilter with a full sized frame...quilted a lot of tops on that. We recently moved and I don't have room for my frame so am back to quilting on the machine, but am using the Pfaff Grand Quilter, which makes the job sooo much easier! With anything larger than minis, I only stipple.
