I don't like the piecing part very much - quilting is the best part for me, too. And I even love making bias bindings and putting them on.

I've never had anything quilted by anyone else - rather, I've resorted to buying tops so that I have something to quilt. :mrgreen: Pretty sad to be buying someone else's UFO's!

I use ordinary domestic sewing machines, all of them vintage or antique, because they've got a lot more room under the arm than my modern machines.

So glad to hear that, polyparrot! I just found a tutorial on the board on how to sandwich a quilt without crawling around on the floor, and that is the part I hate most- so now I can enjoy the entire process. But I always really look forward to quilting. I like binding, too.

I can not afford to have any one else quilt my quilts so I do the best I can myself. I am finding that QAYG is the best way for me to go on large quilts.

I quilt my own. I used to hand quilt and now I long arm them. I would say my favorite part of the process is putting on the bindings. I like quilts best when they are done ;)

Where did you find the tutorial? Was it on this board or a link. I would love to look at it. Thanks!

It's on this board- "Thread basting my quilt sandwich for FMQ"

It's very important to me to hand quilt my finished tops. After pinning my front, batting, and back with safety pins I quilt by hand. I feel it connects me to our historic mothers. I have a since of continuing a haritage that few, in our time, honor.
