It can be totally portable and something I can do while watching TV and sharing time with my family and even friends. I use everything from a lap hoop to a full size stand alone quilting frame. I recommend that everyone at least give it a try.
Being a robotics engineer, I can't imagine anyone spending time with a needle and thread. Machines do it so much faster and nicer. I spend my TV time working on my computer making up new quilting patterns for my QBot. I do own a needle... it's for burying threads after I cut them off from my quilting. BTW, I am just teasing... you quilt away ms. speedy2
