When I first started quilting, I sent my tops to a LAQ. Then funds got a little tight and I had to learn how to FMQ on my machine. I now FMQ the smaller quilts that I do and send out the Bed Size quilts. I have not made a Twin size quilt before, so am not sure if I would send that out or not. Depends on the quilting I would want done on it I guess. I have quilted large lap size on my machine without problems. In fact, that is how I learned to FMQ was on large lap size quilts. I started with a meandering stitch and got that down real well. I am now working on other quilting designs and find it very enjoyable and relaxing to do.
