I just finished my 3rd quilt. All were FMQ by me on my domestic machine. The first one is for my best friend of 45 years and has big pattern mistakes in it, which only add to the love. I think the receivers of the quilts appreciate the work that goes into FMQ it yourself. Paying someone to do something on the quilt makes me feel like it wasn't hand made. I don't know how to hand quilt, guess I'll have to look into that.
