I started out hand quilting but it took me a solid year to hand quilt a queen sized quilt! That was when I lived in Maine and done in-between piling wood for the winter, planting the garden, canning the veggies, baling hay...get the idea? Then I made a twin size quilt for my grandson and quilted that on the old Kenmore. It turned out pretty good!Then I discovered a lady that had a long arm and did them for $50-$60 bucks! WOO-HOO! But... now I have about 15 tops waiting to be quilted. Can no longer afford to do anything but quilt them myself!I did some FM quilting on a table topper last month! It came out OK. My excuse is that the house I rent doesn't have a floor big enough to spread a quilt out on it! I made 2 QAUG queen size quilts in Nov. and Dec. but I find them limiting. I am really at a stand still as far as quilting right now!But I'll figure something out soon 'cuz I ain't stopping the sewing!
