I hand quilt and machine piece. I feel like the last of the dinosaurs. Like another quilter, when I sit down and quilt it is like taking a whole bottle of Valium and the stress just leaves me. ( I don't take Valium).
I have sent a few to the longarmer but do not like the feel of the quilt when it comes back...feels like a cheap K-mart quilt. (Sorry, ladies).
I can take the quilt with me and quilt wherever I am because I use a lap pvc 14" frame (I think it is meant for needle work) but it keeps the tension on the back ideal so no puckers.
I am not giving it up. NEED more time to quilt!!!
