So then how do you finish your quilts? As someone else pointed out, there are lots of quilters who quilt on their DSM. The
grand prize winner in Houston last year was quilted entirely on a 20 year old Bernina DSM. It is a gorgeous quilt, but you have to know that once upon a time she wasn't that skilled or confident. We all start from the beginning.

I think that is a shame. I hope in time you will be able to tell yourself to stop feeling intimidated, and instead find inspiration in these beautiful quilts.
