Yes, You Can Do It
I won't send a quilt "out" for quilting as then it just doesn't feel like it is "my quilt." - I used to hand quilt all my quilts but won't live long enough to make all the quilts I want to make if they are hand quilted. I now machine quilt ALL my quilts (have made several king size quilts) and quilted them on my domestic machine. I got started by reading and doing the exercises recommended in the book "Machine Quilting A primer of techniques" by Sue Nickels ISBN # 1-57432-830-1" and the rest is history. That book got me started and it is wonderful. Good luck. I promise you will be amazed by what YOU can do!!
