I send my really special quilts out to the LAQ and the really big ones. Everything else I do myself--not my favorite part of making a quilt, but I'm getting so I like doing it better than I used to!

I second what Patchworkmarion says about it being very expensive here in Australia.

I quilt my own. I have had 2 quilted by others, but simply can't afford it. Yes, you CAN handle at least a large queen on a domestic. However, with moving such a heavy fabric sandwich, limit yourself to about an hour a day (or twice a day for an hour). Otherwise, you get exhausted, irritated and make mistakes.

I recently bought a Bernina 440 QE. If you can afford it in future, save for a quilter's machine. They usually have 2-3 more inches between the needle and motor housing and this makes a HUGE difference!

i hand quilt all my own stuff. I am not interested in machine quilting, and it's a good thing since I don't have the space to do it! :)

learning to do them myself..I have over 30 tops to be done...at anywhere from $200.00- $400.00 for quilting..I need to do it myself.

I do my own quilting...nothing fancy just Stitch in the Ditch for now but it's my
own work. I might hire a Long Arm quilter one day for some fancy quilting.
Until then I'm quite happy doing it myself. I guess you can call it personal
satisfaction. :)

Edit: Forgot to add that I use a Janome 6600 which has a fairly large throat.
I've managed Full size quilts but haven't gone bigger yet. If I make anything
bigger I might consider quilting in section. As to managing the bulk, put
a table in front and an ironing board or another table on the side. Don't leave
the quilt hanging that's what makes it more difficult to handle. Some put their
sewing machine in a corner facing the wall so that their quilt doesn't drag.

I do both...if I something I can't do then I have it done on a longarm...I am learning to do a lot of designs with my own machine...I can do XXX's, lines and flowers, use decorative stitches and even use some stencils if they have a design with a line I can sew easily.

I help out at a LA shop ( owners has full time job during the day so thats when I work) so I LA all mine,she did them before I learned. I would never attempt to do any quilting at home on my machine, I have no desire to even try !

I do my own. Up to about 7 feet I can do on my little brother with a 6 1/2 inch throat. Larger I use a frame like Iamquilter and hand quilt.

I quilt my own on my Bernina domestic. I have quilted king on down. You have to roll your quilt and work in quarters. It takes some practice but it can be done.
