I started in quilting a few years ago, machine quilting midarm to help my wife finish some of the many projects and tops she gad piled up. I had gone to a quilt show and was really impressed with the artful peices. Being a retired finish carpenter, I thought Id give it a try and have really enjoyed it. Have tried the hand quilting and hand bindings to appreciate what many enjoy doing, but find it far too time consuming when you have so many projects and I like seeing thing DONE. I am getting a lot of requests to finish tops and and machine binding, small baby quilts etc so they can give them to family and friends while their still at the age they can be of use. My hats off to those of you who choose to hand quilt and I appreciate the endlees hours and dedication required to you put in on your quilts. I have to prduce 3 to 4 quilt a week so I find my machine is my preferrence.
