I have just got an HQ Avante so that I can finish my quilts myself! I loved the work the local LA did but really wanted the completed quilt to be all my own work. At the moment my quilting is quite basic and not good enough for shows or heirlooms but I am learning as I go and have great fun!
I now also intend to let other quilters rent time on my machine so that they too can feel the satisfaction of doing it all themselves.
