My world changed ..once I found longarm quilters! I absolutely hated trying to fit all that fabric, batting through my regular machine. I used to find the batting that had the least amount of quilting required just so I did not have to suffer as long through the quilting part. Using a big distanc inbetween quilting just did not seem to do the quilt justice. It made good piecing look .. sad!
I am happy to say I am a Dedicated Piecer, and love it.
