    I am not interested...don't have the money, space, or the desire. You LA's do beautiful work but I much prefer the look of a hand-quilted quilt....don't feel the need to quilt in every inch of my quilt.
    The hand work relieves stress for me and I enjoy showing off my work later (although I don't have time for much quilting).
    No LA here...

    No desire to have one. Only do hand quilting.

    Nancy's Notions has them on sale for $115.00 and I got a 20% discount making my purchase $112.45 including shipping vs. $150.00 on John Flynn's site. Just talked myself into it.

    I've made 8 quilts now. Getting better with each quilt top.lol. I send my tops out also and there is about a month turn around. A lap quilt cost 60-70.... Queen 70-90. Sometimes it is quality work sometimes so- so... But I'm new so I just pay the bill......... With all that said, I've been researching the 80/20 and "thinking" why not try.... That's where all u fine ladies come in. Please give me details, point me to where ever I can learn to complete my own quilts... Thank u soo much

    You are not alone. I wouldn't want one if someone gave it to me.

    I'm too old fashioned to learn that kind of quilting. I'll stick to my hand quilting. it only costs me the price of the thread.
