How important is your quilting design
I’m very blessed to be able to have a long arm, and I really do enjoy quilting the tops I finish. I find ruler work tedious and not my cup of tea, though I admire those that do have the patience for it. I’m also sure that my ability to be a professional freehand fabric doodler with good results is in the same category as the latter. I usually just end up doing a meander or a hand guided pantograph, but somehow feel that a meander is a cop out. I bought robotics for my machine and plan to spend the winter months mastering the program and hopefully I’m able to get my quilts to look better with quilting designed to better fit the top.
