We don't have Walmart here but boy do I wish we did! I've managed to borrow a friends to learn on. No one rents out their long arm here as yet. I gave the owner of my local shop the idea though! what looks like black sashing is actually denim and quite thick at that. I tried a sample to hand quilt it but I think you could see the stitches from the moon hehe! Though I have found a lady that will professionally quilt it for only 100 so that's not too bad and I've been on a hunt on ebay so look out I'll be a machine quilting pro asap! Thanks for all the help ladies! Thank goodness for the forum!
