Your quilt is very cute! I have been watching Home machine quilting videos on U Tube for the last couple months, trying to get up the nerve to try it! Good for you for actually doing a quilt on your machine. I do love doll clothes making though, when my girls were little.

Ya gotta try. I figured if I screwed it up I could at least say I gave it a shot. But trust me on this one, if you think you cant, come here and read a lot... ask a lot of questions. These people are so helpfull they should be paid for it! Good Luck To YOU!

I dont know. The quilting part is what I wanted to do. Thats what drew me to this site, and I think I will keep trying for awhile longer to see if I can do it myself. I hate for anything to get the best of me... if someone else can do it, why cant I? If I have to let someone quilt it then I do all the baking and they get to put on the frosting and I just dont like that idea...

Hang in there my quilting friend. It IS hard to manage a quilt and try to stitch with a regular machine. This is my unfavorite part of quilting. I save my $ to get anything larger than a wall hanging quilted by a longarm quilter. Saves on a ton of fustration!
Reward yourself next by doing a much smaller project that is easy to handle!!

Hang in there! It gets easier!
