I have not been quilting very long, and the first time I did the actual quilting, I hated it. Now I find it very satisfying. I did have to get a walking foot and learn to support the weight of my quilt on my ironing board, but, now I don't hate it. I am not willing to pay for someone to do it.

This is why I have a bunch of tops not quilted. But darn it, I had fun making them and WOULD NOT have fun quilting them, so that's that!!!!

Thank you, I feel better. I'll have a cup of coffee and a cookie, and go at it again. |

Thank you, I feel better. I'll have a cup of coffee and a cookie, and go at it again. A) Life is too short to wrestle a big quilt through the throat of a small machine, and more importantly B) Hobbies are supposed to be enjoyable. If they aren't enjoyable, they can't be called hobbies, they are punishment. That means that C). People who persist in doing something that is punishment are masochists. D). I am not a masochist. I now enjoy piecing, and quilt by check. And people who tell you to hang in there are sadists who enjoy the pain of others. My advice: Decide whether it's worth the aggravation, and if not, don't do it. |

I have no idea what happened to my last post but I say
AMEN!!!!! |
I find SID easier at this point. I'm finding it way too difficult to "freely" move the quilt when I'm wrestling with it trying to get it under the needle. I would like to get to free motion eventually...
