I use to hand quilt and I still have my white plastic frame - stored away. I started machine quilting several years ago and that is the only way to go. I will keep it up, I want to make lots of quilts and machine quilting is the only way I will be able to do it. Years are starting to go really fast. I hope to retire middle of this year and hope to make lots and lots of quilts then. :lol: :lol: :lol:
