I have been learning to do my own. I handquilt, which I love, but it takes me forever. I have a couple of queen size quilts that have a tricot top that I am working on and those are being handquilted, mostly because I haven't tried machine quilting those yet. I have done a queen quilt for my sil, and am undoing parts of it, because I found tucks. I use my viking lily 550 to do this. My daughter did a crib quilt on her brother machine that we got at walmart. I find I do need to take breaks, so when I have stitched for a while, and I am at a stopping point, I move on to something else for a while.
I kind of want a longarm, but I would probably need to go into business to help pay for it, and I haven't decided if I want to do that yet.
