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 likely never will because of the cost. I have a heck of a time doing a queen size quilt and no matter how hard I try I seem to end up tangled up in it. I roll it like everyone says but I still struggle. I'm going to keep on keeping on and maybe some day I'll get it figured out.
