So many hours of hard work, I'm so afraid I'll ruin them. Anyone else have the same phobia?
I like the look of handquilting better than machine so I don't use a LAQ. Glenn
I like handquilting better too, HOWEVER! I have also seen some terrific machine quilting...I don't feel like I could ever get those results tho, so if I had a quilt that I considered to be heirloom quality that I wanted super nice quilting on, and I could afford it, I'd send the quilt out to a LAQ...
