Even spent some time researching the method I would prefer because I was more than half way convinced that would be the only way I could continue quilting. Then, I spoke with a few older ladies at the quilt shop when we had a demo day of the APQS machines. Both of them said their hands were getting too old and it was too slow to hand quilt anymore. They were looking for a machine at 70+ yo. AFTER spending a life time quilting by hand! If I end up machine quilting at that age, I'd rather start earlier. :P<br /><br />Although my husband is not interested in spending money on a nice quilting machine, When I told him I was considering hand quilting, he said that is ridiculous! <br /><br />Of course, I think men like machines and Dave absolutely believes faster is better. Why use a screw driver when you can use an electric drill bit! So, he understands why I want a machine. He just thinks that if we spend that much money, it has to return money back! LOL I'm not convinced I want to turn my hobby into a business. And, I think most who spend that much money on a machine DO end up quilting for others to pay for that machine. <br /><br />Hmmm, maybe if I started hand quilting, it would bother him so much that he would beg me to get a machine! :) Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16486161599419822225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4734655829281418892.post-5188031753196682252015-07-13T06:43:05.399-06:002015-07-13T06:43:05.399-06:00Hand quilting?
