Okay, enough whining. My biggest problem is I hand quilt all my projects because I only make bed quilts. I've tried a few times to machine quilt, but it just doesn't work for me. For one thing the throat on my machine is like eight inches and I can not figure out how to roll up a queen sized quilt and stuff it into that small space. How on earth do you all quilt on your sewing machines?
I don't have a Long arm and know I never will. Yes I'm :cry: crying and jealous of everyone who has one. Imake so many quilt tops for charity and My machine quilting sucks. I always have so many puckers. And would love to be able to send them out but impossible with the cost of doing that.
Have 2 special quilts I plan to hand quilt in hopes I live long enough to complete the. 1 each for my grand children. Started my grandson and its half way done. He's 10 and GD is 8. plan to pack them away for when they go off to college or marry. Figured if I'm not around they will still get something special grammy made just for them.
