Dotty, I quilt mine myself, but not on a treadle. A 1956 Singer 301 with a 1952 waiting in the wings for her turn. I use the term 'sandwiching' for the process of putting the top, backing and batting together, but once a stitch goes in it's a 'quilt' to me.
Longarmers do lovely work, but 1) it's not in my budget and 2) I want my quilt to be all my work. It may not look as professional as one done on a long arm, but it's done by me.
