Hello,
Quilting your quilts through a domestic sewing machine can be a bit tricky...
I know as I have been doing it for years...two years ago I bought an Inspira Quilting Frame and Mega Quilter....and now I not only do my own quilts I do customers quilts too...can you believe I find it very...relaxing!
                                 Here is one I did earlier.
                                        Marlene

That's gorgeous Marlene - lucky you to have the space for the Quilting frame etc....just wished I lived in a bigger place....had more quilting time......and had more money..... mmm lots of reasons there but I do enjoy looking at fellow quilters creations....Well done!

My daughter leaves home in two and a half years time. I am sure the empty nest would be filled if I added a quilt frame to her bedroom

Yes but it costs a bomb in painkillers for your aching hands and shoulders!
 
Very nice Marlene - we're not jealous at all.

Thanks Susan,it was my knees crawling around the floor on the big quilts that decided it...I had to do it...I only went for a look at the Knitting and Stitching show and I heard myself saying .....who do I make the cheque out to!
The other good thing is no pinning and it is so quick, I will be doing one on Wednesday and will let you all have a look after binding is sewn on.

You know what Dusie, I am SO jealous, I will be stalking Martha on the New English Quilt Frame stand again at this years FOQ and I will be thinking that I need to save my pennies to buy the frame and the Juki machine she recommends - £2000 or so in all..... if my family just ate Baked Beans on Toast between now and FOQ 2010 I could probably afford it.... BB in Toast are healthy and nutritious.....anyone see a problem with the plan?!?!?

I do it differently to how the books say though, so no aches and pains.
 
No I cant see any probs with that plan at all, although I would leave off the beans......
