Well, I do all my quilting on my Pfaff . It has a ten inch throat and I can do a king size fairly easily. So of course mine is all FMQ. I really don't see myself sending a quil out to be quilted. I LIKE to do my own . I am getting better with the FMQ and my quilts stay at home or are gifted to family and they really don't care if there are some mistakes They add charecter SP? That's my story and I am sticking with it LOL
