May I just add that I so admire anyone who does hand quilting. I've never tried it, but keep thinking that I will. I, like the majority, want fast results, so I got a long-arm. Sometimes I feel that we all need to slow down and enjoy the quilting process a little more instead of hurrying through it.
Please show us some of your work. I, for one, would love to see it.
I totally agree. Few quilt shops carry plastic quilting design
templates, and I understand that, they probably sell very few.
Also the magazines seem to do the same thing..."quick
quilts" "fast quilts" etc.etc. I personally am okay, I have all
I need, patterns and templates, but it's not easy for the newer
quilters that would like to do more intricate, bigger sizes and
more time consuming methods.
