I do. Check out books by Diane Gaudynski and Harriet Hargrave from your library. Both ladies are very informative about the ins and outs of quilting on a home machine. And have fun!

I also like the barn quilt block,too |
I'm in the practice stage, but know it can be done. I do SITD on my Elsna SU and free motion on my Singer 301. The SITD is under control - working on the FMQ. The 301 does it great job. I just need to be more comfortable with the motion.

I either quilt with my regular machine or hand quilt. No long arm here.

Until then, I'll machine quilt with pleasure using my Pfaff.

I have used and will continue to use my regular machine to machine quilt. I plan to do some, "Quilt as you go," for me and a little sister queen size quilts. I have one small room for all of my hobbies and am very crowded, would never have room for a long arm.

I have a Bernina 630. A regular size machine.
|
I have an Elna Quilters 720 Pro and I machine quilt using a walking foot. Haven't mastered FMQ yet, not sure that I ever will, so I mostly do STD and straight lines.
I am a hand quilter though so most of my quilts are hand quilted. I machine quilt if the quilts are going to be passed onto charities. |
