I used to send all of my quilts out because I didn't realize I could spray baste them and thought trying to pin or stitch baste them was ridiculous. Now I spray baste the heck out of them and go to town on my domestic machine. Good think I like straight line quilting
If I have a special quilt that I want to be nicer then I would send it out to a longarm quilter, but for now I am enjoying not having an added cost of quilter for my quilts, esp when I sell a quilt, I get more profit that way.
