My favorite part of the quilting process is making the top, from picking my pattern and fabric to cutting out the pieces and sewing the top.
I would have to say that I hate the sandwiching the most. It is tiring and painful.
As for the actual quilting, I either hand quilt or machine quilt on my sewing machine. I got alot of tops waiting to be quilted, including the first quilt top I made!
I would love to send my quilts out, but I simply can't afford to.
