I have been sewing for years and have just finished hand quilting 2 large quilts. I also pieced together several wall hangings. Now, I've got to make my sandwich and quilt them. I am so spooked, I've almost talked myself into hand quilting at least one of them. Help!

I feel your pain, as I am in the exact same boat. I don't have a machine that is specifically made for quilting, so that makes it scary for me. I am about ready to piece some placemats, just for DH and myself to use, so that I can practice on them. I'll see how they turn out, and who knows ... it may turn out alright, or I may stick with hand quilting! I just don't know if my Viking 940 can handle a bed quilt of any size. Time will tell. However, I can tell you this, there is a lot of knowledge on this board and graciously shared! Welcome, and enjoy!

Funny you should ask. I went to buy a new sewing machine and decided to get an Husqvarna. DH and I will be moving to Jerusalem full time in a few years so I wanted a dual voltage machine. The only dual voltage machine was the sapphire 875 - one of their quilting machine. So, one thing led to another and here I am with 5 quilt tops already pieced but no courage to start!!!
Which machine are you using?
