Domestic Viking.

No longarm here, a 30 year old singer most of the time, and a embroidery machine for detail sometimes. I too use the scrunch and flatten method.

Iam using my 40 year old Viking on a grace frame. My dream is a longarm.

No long arm for me--maybe in the future. I machine quilt, including stipling, on my Husqvarna. I always have one quilt on my Grace frame for hand quilting--usually a queen or king.

I don't have room for long arm if I could buy one. I have an older 1500 model commercial straight stitch Brother that has a longer throat. Queen size, i sent out. The Quilt Haus in New Braunfels, Texas rents out time on their long arm for those that want. Maybe more quilt shops will start doing this.

No long arm here either. I machine quilt on 2 machines...Viking Des. SE and my new HORIZON 7700!

This year my sister brought a long arm on Craig's List and got a fantastic buy. Me, I do my FMQ'ing on my sewing machine.
I heard a tip that if you could not drop your feed dogs then tape a piece of plastic, like an old credit card over the feed dogs. Never tried it because I can drop mine.

I use the "pull and tug" technique. Works great for me!

The Big E is a huge New England Fair that comes around every Sept/Oct.

Wow! I totally forgot about the Big E. I remember going when I was a kid growing up in New England. We used to have so much fun.

regular sewing machine for me, but my quilting is not anything close to being beautiful. God bless. Penny
