There is a country full of quilters out there. Some of them are confident doing large quilts on their own, but there are some who have started a project that is too big for them to finish. My father in law is one of those people.

He designed and created a quilt for my mother in law, but when it came time to quilt over the quilted squares, he knew that he needed something larger, something industrial. He went to a quilt shop that used a long arm quilting machine and within 3 weeks he had a beautiful (and completed) quilt for his wife. Long arm quilting machines are handy, they are fun, and they are just plain wonderful!
