    Thanks.
    I used to quilt all of my own tops, but since the local quilt shop closed, I have no where to lay them out to sandwich & baste. My stack of tops just keeps growing. :( :roll:

    I hand quilt the large ones and machine quilt the small ones usually because it's easier. I have yet to master either but find that going back and forth keeps me from getting board!

    I machine quilt my tops that are twin and smaller on my Bernina. Anything larger than a twin I send to a LA. I also always have at least one top I'm hand quilting, just to keep up my skills.

    I quilt all of my own. Used to hand quilt but find the machine quilting goes so much faster. Only sent out 2 king-sized quilts to LA and felt that I lost control of the process...and I have never had a controling personality so don't know what that's all about!

    I do FMQ on my Pfaff. Still learning, practicing, but I do have a feeling of accomplishment when they are done! I like to know I've done the whole thing. The last one I completed was 80X80 for my son. I'm now working on a similar size for my daughter. This one is taking me quite a while. I wish I would have started counting the time when I started it, just for fun. Sometimes I have to go so slow that I think it would be faster to hand quilt.!
