I have never quiltd on a machine, just do it all by hand. I have begun sending some out to my friend who LA's but I stil prefer hand quilting. It just takes so long, and I sometimes get 'top happy' and just keep making tops, so think I have about, oh, I don't know, 20 tops? So the ones I love I do myself, and the ones that are ok, I send to my friend. I don't care for tied tops. I can't say way, just prefer them to be quilted. :roll:
