Been reading about hand quilting and will try that as soon as I get the nerve.
Hang in there. I've seen ads in quilt magazines that advertise quilting and the prices seem reasonable.
I think MY biggest issue is I'm not sure I want someone familiar with quilting to see what I've done......I would rather send mine to someone I don't know (such as you) to quilt for me.
Oh my goodness pick one of your tops and choose a nice bat that needles well. AND GO FOR IT! You crawl before you walk, walk before you run....it's ok to have those first blocks to look back and see how far you have grown :D The hardest part is getting started but once I got going it's been wonderful...the look and feeling hand quilting gives. wow...be brave it's the best feeling when you settle in to quilt, it's like an all is right with the world feeling. Esp. if you don't have a time line to meet or beat. I say go for it you just might love it :-D Ttime
