re: What I don't like about FMQ machine

Well true, Sandy, hand-quilting is definitely not about speed. Both are quilting, but may be it's apples and oranges.

I've got a 92" square quilt I'm hand-quilting at the moment. I doubt I'll get it done this winter before the weather becomes too warm to hold it in my lap.
