cannot afford classes and could not afford to hire a long arm quilter...i got online and researched everything i could on qayg- and finally found a blog with a tutorial from a gal in wales...have not handstitched a qayg since and i have finished seven quilts using her way..the last being a king size.......and i did this on my home sewing machine too. doing this on your sew. machine is really easy for a twin size and even a full size. it is quite challenging though for the king size..thought i would have to be a contortionist..but i did it.
