    Just the sewing machine. I have a cousin that has a long arm. I send them to her. Wish I had the money and the space to have one.

    Same here, but hope to upgrade perhaps next year or get my Juki stretched.

    I tried rolling it but that didn't work too well, so I now use a technique I saw on an online tutorial (might have been Leah Day) where they suggested "scrunch, scrunch, flatten". I'll try to find the tutorial again.

    I just use my little "Brother" and although it gets a little tricky sometimes it works well.
    Here's a link to the tutorial from Leah Day I was referring to on Free Motion Quilting. It's the second video down on the page. She really explains it well...

    No long arm for me... just my Husqvarna for sewing things together and a Janome MemoryCraft 350 for embroidery.... I am not even sure I would want to start down the long arm path.....yet....

    I bet I have one of those plates somewhere. Just never thought it would be possible to do it on my old Singer. Some of the quilts done here that are free motion...well, I have not seen professional quilts that look that good.

    If the feed dogs don't drop, tape an index card over them. The fabric slides quite well over the card. I love old sewing machines, buy them at auctions, and of course they don't have the handbook with them. I'm not an expert at machine quilting, but I do enjoy it.
