This has not stopped me from making 72 quilts by hand in 5 years. Most of my quilts are large. I'm a Cherokee Indian, I went into a chat room, it didn't quite work for me, they suggested I use dif material for the inside of my puff quilts. I use recycled pillows & stuffed animal fluff. If you'd like to send me a letter, I'd love to tell you all about puff quilting since I taught myself, I use the backstitch, most people think my quilts are machine made, then they look closer. Google iferland if you would like to see my quilting videos.
