Yes, I'm trying to convince myself of having it done by someone else, because even if it's only $45, I keep thinking that I could buy more fabric with that. :lol: [/quote]
Surpisingly enough, I know where you're coming from. I NEVER had any of my quilt tops quilted. I used to do the stitch in the ditch on my DM. I couldn't see putting out as much money to have my quilt top quilted (and I used inexpensive fabrics too) as I did making it. I never thought any of my quilt tops were worth it, however, I truly loved the look of quilting. I didn't realize that quilting can take you're not so perfect quilt top to a whole new level. Now, I wish I had taken a few of my quilt tops to have them professionally quilted. Utlity quilts are so much more durable after quilting also. This is just my observation after being on both sides of the fence. Now, I have to convince myself to stop buying inexpensive fabric for my quilts. I'm still not great at either but I'm working at both.
