I make my quilts totally by using a sewing machine and always will and I call them homemade - Because they are. I make them in my home and do the cutting with my hands on my rotary cutter, feed the fabric into my machine with my hands fix the backing with my hands and pin the layers together with my hands and I guide the quilt sandwich through my machine with my hands. In my mind they are all handmade and homemade. I use to cut pieces out with scissors and handquilt them, I am into to the new aprroved way, I want to make them faster and I do. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
