I am a longarm quilter and I thank you for all your kind words. It is nice to hear when we are appreciated. Yes there is a lot of work that goes into the quilting before the machine is even threaded but because of our passion that is a labor of love. I get such a boost when my customers are happy about their quilts. It makes all the other "pains" of quilting just melt away.
Thank you so much. I truly appreciate your words.
