Now, this is priceless! I think I will do just that! Your right, FMQ is not easy to learn! I intend to become really really skilled at it! My old singers just handle it so easily, now it is up to me! thanks for your compliment!

Amen...I just have a little White from JoAnn's. I have done 2 kings, a queen, a full and many baby quilts. Sure it takes more time to fit a king through my little machine but I can say I did it myself! I am just learning FMQ as well and although it takes time and practice I believe I can be satisfied doing all my quilting on my little White!

I totally agree with you. It is what I want and everyone is different I guess. Would not mind trying a longarm just to see what they are like, No I will not buy one not room and no money

Between my little Singer and the Brother I bought about 10 years ago, I can do almost anything I want in piecing and FMQing. I don't have room for a longarm. I had a smaller frame for the Brother for a while and it felt like the elephant in the kitchen - always in my way and it didn't like the way I FMQ, so it is up for sale for someone who does oodles of lap quilts with pantos. I'm like you and like to "do it all myself". I'm terrible at envisioning a final product. My quilts are always a work in design progress until I put the last stitch in the binding.

Say to them " OK when are you going to buy me one" or "My birthday is in ----. You can get me one for my present"

Answer back to those people with, "When you are ready to purchase LA for me, I would enjoy helping you decide which model I need."

I'm with you! I can, and do, FMQ even my large quilts on a domestic machine. It's part of the process of quilting and it's all mine! A longarm is just way beyond what I want to spend!
