I do my own on a Sapphire 870. Someday I's like to handquilt one.

I do my own quilting and have never quilted someone elses . After seeing the poor job that my friend paid someone to do maybe I need to reconsider.

I do my own -- I have a Juki on a Grace frame, but I have a hard time standing too long. Lately I have been doing most of my quilting on my Janome 7700.

I wish I had the $$ to send the big ones out -- they are a struggle, but I am going to try to quilt them in thirds.

I quilt my own on my Tin Lizzie 18. One quilt I sent out, she had it for over a year and I thought I would never see it again. It was for my son's wedding and they got it over a year late, but I was happy to have it back!!

I do my own quilting. Still learning but enjoy hand quilting a lot.

I do my own, but mainly just stitch in the ditch and straight lines. But I'm starting to do some FMQ! :)

I do. I have a Janome 6600 with the larger space. This is the part I struggle with the most and sometimes it takes me months to finish a quilt. Wish I could send it out but no money.

I admire those who hand quilt their own!

I only quilt my wall-hangings and baby quilts. Anything bigger (twin and on up), I take to a wonderful lady!

I also have a short arm on a New Joy frame and do my own. I have found that the frame is also great to use for sandwiching the smaller quilts that I do on my regular sewing machine....I don't have to get on my knees on the floor or worry about clearing off a large table.
If I have made an heirloom quilt, I send it out.
