We're still fairly resistant to new things, aren't we?
I did not like the idea of computerized quilting *at all* when I first heard of it. Loved the big free-motion machines and even rented time on a longarm, but the idea of programming it seemed to take something out of it.
Well, I just got back a quilt that I had Missouri Star quilt for me - and I could not be happier! It's perfectly gorgeous stitching!
Because of the number of patches, this quilt is incredibly heavy - I can't even imagine wrestling this 98" square under the needle on a domestic machine. This way, I have a beautiful, consistent, allover design and I can stitch the borders on and quilt them however I want to.
Now, the only problem I have with computerized quilting is that my own free-motion quilting can't hold a candle to the perfect stitching in the center of the quilt.
I will use a thread that blends in, for sure!
