survey results
Hi all
I’ve had an overwhelming response to the survey I posted. I’d like to thank everyone who took the trouble to reply – you all have VERY generous spirits. I said I’d let you know you the results: I posted the questions on 2 groups 34 people responded (I SAID it was overwhelming!!) 27 from USA, # Australia, 2 UK, 1 Canada, and 1 Argentina. 33% use professional machine quilters The reasons varied, but in a nutshell: Most people liked the speed, and the fact that their quilt tops don’t turn into UFO’s. A lot of people couldn’t cope with the bulky quilts at home, so sent them off. The professional’s skills – good stitching, and ability to choose a good design to compliment your quilt. The convenience of buying batting and thread from them. A BIG one – lots of people hate basting!!!! Some thought it was more durable in children’s quilts. Very interesting results and I can hand in my survey now. Thank you all, again |

Very interesting. It surprises me that people actually send crib quilts to
longarmers. Really? Babies subject their quilts to such messy indignities and they are not fussy about symmetrical feathers. Seems like a waste of exquisite talent. IMHO. Of course. Yeah. Like I have a humble opinion. Polly "abbey in australia" wroteHi all I’ve had an overwhelming response to the survey I posted.

My friend is a long arm quilter. She sometimes does several small quilts
(crib and WH) on one backing, to give the customer more quilts for the same minimum price. This is for the side to side quilting, not the custom work. She is the quilter who will quilt the Relay for Life Double Irish Chain. Today we selected a medium value caramel/brown variegated thread for the top and a light caramel for the bobbin. This will be a cool quilt. PAT "Maureen Wozniak" wrote in message lobal.net... On Thu, 12 Mar 2009 22:29:02 -0500, Polly Esther wrote (in article ): Very interesting.

Yep, the very same friend who quilted the Irish Chain last year is doing it
again this year. You remember how GORGEOUS that one was, Alice. I was at her house again last week, when T had the quilt in the frame and we selected the quilting motifs for the blocks and borders. Then she and I worked a bit on an unusual tee shirt quilt that T is making. It is always fun to hang out with quilters! PAT in VA/USA "Alice in PA" wrote in message ... I bet I know that long-armer!
