I have a domestic Juki and quilt all my own tops. I have done from a baby quilt to a king size on it.

I do my own quilting, nothing fancy, stitch in the ditch, outline, a few hearts and swirls and the biggest quilts I've done are twin size. I've done a few larger quilts for family and friends and have had them quilter by guild member who is also a LA. Turn around time is about a month but she will rush one if really necessary. I always provide her with oversize batting and backing which she likes to cut down herself and she always gives me back whatever she cut off. Last one she did for me took about 6 weeks, it was twin size with meander quilting and she charged me $60. May in Jersey

PS: When I have someone quilt my quilts I include them on my label, made by my name, etc. and and then quilted by.....

I quilted a king sized bedspread (!!) on my long arm machine-- I'm trying to sell it but it is a great machine. I did it in two passes-- one for the main (top) part of the bedspread and then a 54" panel that I cut into two for the 27" drop. WOW! That was a job!!

I love to hand quilt so mostly do my own, but when the top is really big and need it done fast, I'll send to my local long arm quilting.

Thank you! Any quilt "I" make is completely "made" by "ME". Therefore they're all mine also.

I have always quilted my own, sometimes hand quilted and sometimes on my Viking Mega Quilter. I like to know that it's my quilt when I'm finished. Also, I enjoy machine quilting and designing the quilting to enhance the quilt.

I quilt my own. I hand quilt either on a frame or a large oval hoop. I tell my friends that I am primarily a primitive quilter because my stitches aren't exactly perfect (quiet-don't tell the quilt police).

I have a frame with a regular machine on it, so I quilt all my own tops...not as fancy as a LA can do, but it works for me.
