I am like Eleanor Burns. I quilt with my credit card! For me, the creative part is making my quilt tops. I don't see myself ever hand quilting as it hurts my hand when I hand sew for long. I won't ever own a long arm and don't have room to spread out and try free motion quilting on my regular machine. I will stick to quilting small items. That is my speed.

I don't have a problem with computer quilting, but I don't know anyone who has one. They are an expensive add-on to a long arm. It would be about my luck to set it, leave it, and have it malfunction on the quilt. Yikes.

My only problem with the computerized longarms is that I am competing with them if I enter a show.

I have to say that when I heard someone tell my guild that they set their baby monitor to 'listen' to the quilting and walked away to do other things, it took me aback. I don't think that would be my choice to quilt that way but when I've read about people with severe athritis etc. it made me think a little differently about things.

I have used cheater panels and don't consider that cheating so a machine that does the quilting for me isn't either. I bet that machine costs a bundle.
