Do you send your quilts out?
#22
I send my large quilts to a LAQ. I do small to med size on my home sewing machine--I do a "jillion" charity kid quilts and those I do completely myself. I really do not particularly like the quilting part of quilt making, so am GLAD to have the option of letting someone else do it for me.

I send mine out to a couple of LAQ's. I've tried to do it myself but do not have the dexterity it takes to guide the sandwich. If it is a small quilt that will look ni e with SID I will do that, but otherwise they get sent out and I give appropriate credit on my lables to the quilter.

I do my own, I have done up to full size (many times) and happy with results. I have a queen size quilt and a king size waiting to be quilting, I will do those myself. I know I can go near by and rent a long arm but just not interested. I can't imagine sending them out but that is me.

*gasp*
JCrow ... and to think I suggested that you might consider a purchase and you have the equipment you need already?
ITA two years later I would have at least ... opened the box ... and set it up .... and been practicing ... and developing some comfort level with it after that much time. *another gasp*

I have to be honest, if i had the 830 AND the frame, I think by now I would have at least tried machine quilting with it <grin>.....and i KNOW my hubby would have expected me too! LOL.
I typically send out anything bigger than a wall hanging. I have promised myself that when my new bernina comes home (a 450...only one more month!) that I will really really try to become more proficient at machine quilting.
