I quilt my own. I used to use a small dinky Mechanical Brother and could do a respectable meander on it. I don't like ditch stitching and find straight line quilting hard. For me. Then a used Brother PQ 1500 just about fell into my lap and I have practiced more than the meander. I have hand quilted some quilts. I have another one I'm piecing and am going to hand quilt that. I have no deadlines so no hurry. Our quilt shop does FMQ and it is very nice and a lot of my quilting friends have their tops done there. But so far I can and like to do my own.
