I agree with that. I have been told that it is best to send them out to be finished. When I asked the price, I was told you can get them done as cheap as $70.00. Sorry, I don't have $70.00 to have a quilt finished. So I am learning by myself with books, videos and magazines. And as long as I have found someone who has made a lot of quilts could you answer my question.
I bought a quilting foot from the sewing machine store, along with a darning foot. I used the quilting foot and it worked fine for the first five rows and then started clunking, it even disabled my pressure foot, the stitching was knotted on the back and then the bottom of the quilting foot came off. I am supposed to bring it into the store tomorrow but now I am wondering if a worn needle that I have used for regular sewing should have been changed to a new "quilting" size needle. Just wondered if this could have caused that and what size needle is the best size to use for stitching in the ditch. Thanks and I agree with you about doing the quilts yourself. Pauline
