Have done them all myself on my vintage Singer machines. (tied one that needed to be done quickly). Money was the factor when I started, and my piecing skills were not very good to start with; would not have felt they deserved a longarmed quilting treatment. It's very satisfying to see my piecing and fmq skills get better with each project. I was so excited about quilting my 1st quilt and remember feeling that had truly made me a "quilter" in every sense of the word.
