Greetings Quilt Block Maker
Are you among 42.9% of quilters whose biggest challenge in
finishing a quilt is deciding whether to machine quilt or
hand quilt?

Do you already know that you want to machine quilt your
finished quilt, but can't decide what design to use to
quilt it?
Or, maybe you already have the machine quilting design all
picked out, but lack the confidence to put the quilt to the
sewing machine needle and thread and do some stitching - the
machine quilting way.
I've been quilting for more than 26 years. Yet every day I
used to look at stacks of unfinished quilts.
The quilt tops were finished, and I wanted to quilt them,
but, like so many other quilters, I lacked the confidence in
my machine quilting skills, and didn't want to ruin the quilt
that I had spent hours so carefully stitching together.
It wasn't that I was just guessing that I would ruin a quilt
if I machine quilted it. I had actually ruined one!
And another one was embarrassing.
But quilting daughter, Stephanie, designed the quilt when
she was in first grade and didn't care what the back looked
like; she wanted it hanging on her wall.
After those few disasters, I dismissed the idea of machine
quilting for years.
But then the stack of unfinished quilts began to grow.
I called around looking for some machine quilting help, and
discovered that a friend of mine who I had lost touch with,
had become an expert machine quilter. So I enlisted her help.
Using tips from her experience, I was able to spend some
time practicing with my machine quilting and gain the
confidence I needed in order to machine quilt a lap size
quilt and get started quilting other quilts in my stack.
And you can, too.
