    I can't quilt and after spending so much money on fabrics and time in making the quilt, I want it to look good. I've found the LA quilter has more talent than I could ever develop so want to keep them in business.

    I send mine out. I found the price better than buying the equipment myself & having the room for it. I don't let them do any computer quided though.

    I have thus far quilted all my own quilts.

    I would not be able to make as many quilts as I do for gifts for wedding and babies and such if I had to pay for someone else to do the quilting.
    I do plan on having one or two done here sometime by a LA.

    I do all of my own quilting. I either use my sewing machine or rent time on a long arm at my LQS.

    I do my own. I have a Juki machine on a Grace frame. It works fine for me. I still dream of a long arm though.

    I do my own and quilts for customers as well.

    I have a longarm quilting machine with a computer system, so can do free motion quilting as well as designs via my computer program.

    I can do small wall hangings up to king size quilts on my machine.

    I send mine out. I have a lovely Singer simple zigzag, which is great for sewing tops, but I do not have room to do a quilt.

    I am still new at all this quilting thing, how long can I continue to say that? Anyway, for now I do mine own, perhaps will time allows, I can check into other options. I just like quilting my own, my friends sends hers out and they come back just beautiful

    I do all of mine. Started on my domestic at the table, worked up to domestic on table top frame and now am using an older Homesteader on a floor frame. I am in love with my "Stretch" (older Homesteader) and can't wait to reload and go again. I WILL master feathers!
