your welcome jacquemoe, but its true, very very nice work. I have a gracie quilt frame which came with a juki (name of machine) i also got the quilt cad, which is a program with different quilting designs. I tried to plan something on the computer with the quilt cad but lol i still have to play with the program it just doesnt look quite right how they print out. I know i'll figure it out one day, i'm trying to get caught up with some of my wips, so hopefully soon i will get it figured out. Keep up the great work, and looking forward to seeing more of your work, Happy quilting, Denise.

Hi Dinese,
You wouldn't believe how many quilting systems I looked at for about 4 years before I made my decision. I did buy a HandiQuilter Frame a few years ago but............................I DON'T NEED IT ANYMORE :lol: I only made a couple of very small quilts and only one whole cloth quilt, using the HandiQuilter. I got frustrated with my home sewing machine. I hope you have a ball with yours. And, thanks again for the encouragement.

Thank you. I start taking customers when I get the confidence I need. How long did it take you to feel confortable to start charging?

Be sure and let us know when you are quilting for others. I don't have a top ready to practice on, or I'd join the pick me club. You do wonderful work there kiddo! Congrats!
