I think if you would go price what it would cost to have one quilted it would make you more willing to learn to do it yourself, and also give you great satisfaction of a job well done. There are many men quilters.Good Luck

First, I would like to ask where did you get the nickname Pickle, that was mine all through grade scholl, rhymed so nice with Nickel and I love dill pickles. LOL
What president made a quilt? I will look it up. Using a LGA is working with machinery and the process similar to using a lathe or grinder in a machine shop and taking care of it a lot like keeping your car running. When you see the results of your work and get paid for it, you will like it even better. My DH repairs all my machines but so far hasn't done any sewing.
Good luck and make a name for yourself.
Many quilts at Paducah are made my men and win prizes.
