Okay, enough whining. My biggest problem is I hand quilt all my projects because I only make bed quilts. I've tried a few times to machine quilt, but it just doesn't work for me. For one thing the throat on my machine is like eight inches and I can not figure out how to roll up a queen sized quilt and stuff it into that small space. How on earth do you all quilt on your sewing machines?
Oh, heck no!!
I'll never, ever be able to afford one (although I do dream of winning the lottery), so I only hand quilt. lol, it's much less effort that pulling and tugging one through a machine :D
Take heart, lots of us in the same boat and paddling right along with you.
