Thank you!

This quilt took me 3 hours start to finish at a cost of $20.00 per hour. I had to wind my bobbins, test the tension, thread the machine, put the needle in, load the 3 layers, baste, then quilt it and remove it from the machine along with my needle, thread and bobbin. The quilt is 63" square. Other than the $80.00 orientation class fee and cost for supplies, it cost me $60.00 to actually quilt it. I could have maybe done it in less time, but it was all a new experience for me. I rented the machine again a few weeks later to quilt my 91" square En Provence (Bonnie Hunter), and that took 5 hours, which was $100 to quilt. Both were quilted with an end-to-end flower and swirl design. My third quilt was a twin size camp quilt with simple meandering that took 2 hours.

I really liked that I made the quilts start to finish and it was cheaper than sending them out for someone else to do!
