I have never sent one out. I use to hand quilt, but it started hurting my hands and now I machine quilt. I love it. I love making designs to free motion all over my quilts. The more intricate I can get with my quilting the happier I am. I love making texture on my quilts. I love sitting down with a copy of the quilt and planning the quilting. Ahhhh, I guess I love everything about quilting. Even binding, cause that means I can start another one :mrgreen:
