I quilt my own. My 1st was hand quilted, just a lap size. I then quilted queen size on my domestic, a janome DC 3018 which really took some effort, I would definitely have to rest frequently because the weight of the quilt would pull on me. Now I have a Janome Horizon 7700 and I love love love it. I will say this that my little janome DC 3018 is a workhorse. Good luck with what ever you decide. Lap quilting is one way to go.
