Interesting thread. But I have a question. Other than the obvious larger throat, why buy a long arm? I've read this thread and others on this board and everyone comments on how much work is involved with a long arm (i.e. how physically hard they are to use). I'm hoping this Fall to find a local quilt show and try a long arm so I better understand the advantages.
Thank you for sharing!

As far as the original topic, I bought mine for me. I only do my quilts and donation quilts (charity for guild and QOV). I did a single baby quilt for an acquaintance, but she was in a time crunch and didn't have time to take it to her usual LA'er.

I stress out doing my own quilts, cannot imagine doing for others. I would love to be able to quilt for others when retire, to help with my income, but do not feel talented enough. Right now have a Sweet16, hoping to upgrade within a year, do not know if that would improve my quilting or not.
