I purchased mine for fun. When I first started, a local professional quilter contacted me to see if I would be interested in quilting for hire. I went to her house & worked with her for a couple days, which helped me decide. Fast. She spent a lot of time fixing/massaging/reworking customer's quilts. The first quilt she loaded had a really wavy border, which she took off & reapplied. the next quilt we did had seam intersections that were pressed so poorly that the panto she was trying to show me could not be easily done because you kept hitting them. Another the top was OK, but the backing was seamed so unevenly, she wound up re stitching. Well, you get the picture. It might have been just a bad batch, but I declined the work. I now just quilt for me & friends & family. If one of them gives me a top with an issue, I have no problem handing it back & telling them to fix it!
