I want to quilt my own
#31
I own a longarm machine and it sits idle a lot. I can't make quilt tops fast enough to keep it busy all the time. If you could get together with other quilters and "hire" it out when you are not using it you could recoup some of your cost. I have been thinking about "hiring" mine out. There is a learning curve but it is a pretty smooth curve and easy to navigate. BTW mine is computerized.

I purchased a used Pfaff GrandQuilter with a 9" throad on a 10' frame. It was $1500. Check with your local quilt shops or Quilt Guilds to see if they know of anything for sale. I would like to have a 13" - 15" throad machine, but can't afford it right now, so this works for me.

I have a Brother Embroidery machine. I frequently use this for quilting free motion or embroidery files.
I will trace designs on press and seal by Glad and follow the lines.
I would love to pay someone to do this for me or purchase one of those fancy machines. Now my quilts are made by me. Besides, I love doing the quilting part.
