Survey for a course I?m doing?please help!

Hi everyone. I?m doing a small-business course, and I need to do this survey amongst a group of people of my choice. Because most of this stuff is new to me, and I?m really quite nervous, I?ve chosen quilt-makers - to stay in my comfort-zone!!! I?d be really grateful for some responses, especially (but not only) from Australia.

  1. Where do you live (town, state)?
  2. About how many quilts do you make per year?
  3. Do you use a professional machine quilter?
  4. What are the 3 (or more) handiest features of their service?

Thank you very, very much. I?ll let you know the results

Sorry, this apparently sent before I was finished.

  1. Wayne, PA, US
  2. 1 large (queen+) 3-4 smaller
  3. No but have considered
  4. a) wouldn't have to make the sandwich, b) would free up my time for tops, c) stitching would be more accurate than my present machine quilting skills.

Piggybacking ...

  1. Henderson, NV, USA
  2. It varies. Sometimes as many as six, sometimes just a couple.
  3. No. I've done that only twice in the past, but I really prefer to do my own quilting on my "regular" sewing machine.
  4. N/A

I'm piggybacking:

1) Springfield, IL 2) It varies, but at least 1 tablerunner or placemat set and 1 small quilt 3) On occassion, but I do a lot of my own quilting 4) no basting and less risk of puckers and other flaws in the backs/tops of large (full, queen, or king) quilts. Not having to wrestle a large quilt through my home machine.

  1. Chicago, Illinois, USA
  2. Two large bedsize, 20 crib or throw size and 10 miniatures
  3. Larger quilts and most throws sent to long arm quilter
  4. I love to piece but don't like to quilt. Long arm quilters do a wonderful job. I can send a top out to be quilted and start a new one right away rather than spending time quilting.

Hi Maureen, 1. Perth, Western Australia

  1. 2-3 large
  2. No, but have thought about it
  3. Patterns that I can't do (yet). They have the time I don't have right now. I can get on with the next project while the quilt is being quilted. Hope this helps and isn't too late
