We have hand quilted with it here at church with the seniours and after the initial getting used to it, we are fine with it. Interesting that people offer their opinions and we take it as gospel. I listen to what others say, and let it go if it doesn't fit with what I KNOW! Too bad for those who have no previous experience with something and take another's word for truth! I am too stubborn to listen to others most of the time, and I can't remember most of it eather. I am blessed.
