I do a variety, either hand quilt, machine quilt, stitch in the ditch, or send it out to a quilter, depends on my mood.

I, too, bought a Megaquilter several years ago that remains unused, just collecting dust. It was easy enough to use after enduring the usual learning curve but too hard on my back and knees, just can't stand that long. Wish someone would buy the old girl then I would buy the Queen sit down quilter.

i quilt every quilt on my kenmore sewing machine i have done from lap to king size the bigger ones are harder to do and take longer (because i have to stop and rest my shoulders) but i have to work with what i can afford, i would love to get a sewing machine with a bigger throat spce but everytime i try to save for one the money needs to go for something else more important !!

LOL Don't we all!

Is that the same thing as a Queen Quilter?

I do aLl my quilting on my machine :) I find it fun to come up with new ideas and challenge myself with different designs. Ive learned alot and I know my seam ripper is my friend at times! I made a table runner for my future step mother and she thought I brought it to a long arm quilter..she was amazed I did it all free motion on her old necchi machine!
