In 1989 or 1990 I went to the big quilt show in Lancaster, PA and stood behind some older ladies who were really upset about machine quilting and thought it shouldn't be allowed in the show! Well, look at what has happened. I love hand quilting but I also like machine quilting (I do mine on DSM). I like FMQ from any machine. I think computerized machines, whether quilting or embroidery are OK but not my thing. When I bought my new machine I could have had the embroidery unit and my husband and the salesman really tried to convince me I would be sorry. Well, I'm not. While I think those who do it well are enjoying a different facet of the growing 'quilting experience' I know it isn't for me. That is what is so great about fiber and fabric-there is no limit to flights of of imagination or invention.
