Let it go in one ear and out the other. I have a long arm quilting machine, I can do one in about 5-6 days depending on how much I work on it. I don't try to hurry. I have done hand quilting and it takes a long time. That is why I decided to buy my long arm. I didn't get too expensive, I have a 15" Bailely Longarm. I plan to invest in a stitch regulator soon. I don't regret buying it, only wish I would have gotten a different quilting frame, I guess I will have to deal with this one. I would have liked to have more space to quilt and have it a little wider. I'm enjoying it anyway.
