I used to send mine out to a LA'er but I can't afford it any more. So, I bought some on-line FMQ classes and pored over TONS of Youtube videos and have been FMQ'ing my own now for a while. I also have a handquilting project going all the time. As soon as I finish one handquilting project, I immediately start another one so I have something to do in the evenings while I'm watching tv. I have surprised myself with how much like FMQ and handquilting. I'm also saving LOTS of money doing it on my own. A win-win for me
