I don't have on either. I'll bet your quilts are all beautiful.

I don't have one, I do mine by hand & you are right it does take forever but I love the outcome. I have had one done by a laq and she did a beautiful job but they are not as soft and cuddlie as had quilted ones. Some people love them and there is nothing wrong with that, I just prefer hand quilting them.

I too, WANT a quilting machine but space is a problem and my husband is not willing to give up his garage! LOL I send my large quilts to a quilter and quilt smaller things on my Bernina which works fine I guess.

I dont have one either and living in a 2 bedroom mobile home will never have the space for one. I stick with wall size quilts up to 36" square.

Thanks. |
No room, money or desire for a long arm. I do everything on my Kenmore and while it's not always easy, it gets the job done and I've had no complaints about the quilts I've given away. I am taking a class on FMQ in October and am looking forward to learning how to do this.
Edited to say the class is in November, not October. Currently, I just stitch straight lines. |
Well, you are definitively not alone! I wanted one several years ago, not so much anymore. I will do what I can do on my own little machine and if I ever get a quilt half as breath-taking as some of the ones I have seen on this board, I will then consider sending it out! Maybe...or maybe I will have finally conquered FMQ!!!
