Same here-just bought the Singer Simple yesterday as it has the drop feeds otherwise mine before was Singer regular machine.

Just sold my LA. No room for it in the house we're moving to so guess I'll try to quilt on my Brother.

I use my two short arms and a thimble with needle and thread. I prefer the look of hand quilting and it's such good therapy!

I have hand quilted
up to a king on my DM (once, was more than enough)
Brother Novelle 1500
I would use blue painters tape and tape sections, up to 6 sections; starting in the center, rolled up quilt thrown over my shoulder would quilt in the section up to the border. After all sections were done, I would add my binding and then go back and do the border. Worked for me, kept my quilt more square.

2 - 3 years ago purchased Handiquilter 16 mid arm.

I just use my brother or singer. No long arm. I don't have the room for one. And too much $ for retired.

ditto here. Sure would love to have a long arm, but thats a dream machine for now

CLMQuilter

Domestic machine for me too

Rusty's Mama

I recently bought the Sapphire 875. Up until that purchase I have used my Lily 545 for quilting. I have only sent out 4 quilts to a professional quilter. I really enjoy doing my own although I am limited in my designs, but learning more all the time!

I have a older machine and the feed dogs don't go down so i cover them with free credit cards or any plastic card and tape down

I WISH I had a long arm. Maybe someday ;)
