I've had only one quilt that I sent out...my avatar. I doubt that I will ever do that again. Too costly and not satisfying. There is no sense of accomplishment. I want to get a new regular sewing machine that I think might help with the FMQ. DH always says it's NOT the machine! But I think a good machine helps. So, for now , I have about 5 tops waiting to be quilted. And I will do the best I can on my own.
