I quilt my own by my regular sewing machine. I am quilting one for my brother now. I also will hand quilt certain ones. I have never sent a quilt out to be quilted and I really can't afford to do so. I like to pick out fabric and then put it together. Cutting isn't my favorite thing to do. Doing all parts of the quilt process is what I like to do. I have quilted on my sewing machine lap quilts to king size quilt
