I have quilted ALL of mine so far, but I might send out the king size bed quilt I'm starting soon because I'm not up to the physical strain of trying to do such a large quilt on my Phaff. (I machine quilted one king size quilt years ago and needed a lot of chiropractic treatments to recover!) I love piecing the top best!

I love to hand quilt but now I have about 6 quilt tops to do. Would have to live to 200 just to quilt them. My Machine quilting sucks (excuse) too much puckering. So my quilt top piles just keeps piling up. Trying to save enough to have 2 of the tops quilted. I for my grandson and one ffor my grand daughter

I quilt my own on my HQ16 and Prostitcher. However, I am a little behind on the quilting part. I need to get better on the Prostitcher since it is new. There is always something to learn! The reason I got the HQ16 and frame was so I could feasibly quilt my quilts myself instead of spending a lot more for having them quilted. Piecing and embroidering are my favorite things to do.

I quilt my own by my regular sewing machine. I am quilting one for my brother now. I also will hand quilt certain ones. I have never sent a quilt out to be quilted and I really can't afford to do so. I like to pick out fabric and then put it together. Cutting isn't my favorite thing to do. Doing all parts of the quilt process is what I like to do. I have quilted on my sewing machine lap quilts to king size quilt
