I can draw myself silly with flowers, vines, feathers.......anything on paper. But when I carefully put my quilt onto the machine, with plenty of support to hold the weight, I still only have about 5-6" of FMQ area and it drives me insane. I cannot afford to send a quilt out to a long armer. I'll just keep struggling along until I finish. I have fabric for 4 more quilts. I think I will quit buying fabric. If I finish these five, I will be lucky.
