A boat purchase was the reason I got my longarm as well.

I tested one at my local sewing store, but was disappointed that it required a foot pedal. The pedal messes with my calf muscle and caused discomfort for several days after my 5 minute test drive.

This thread is cracking me up....I wonder how many boat/longarm households there are across the nation!? LOL

I got to play around on a $30K longarm machine this weekend...oh man was that fun. I think I'm glad there is absolutely no space in my house for it, that way I'm not seriously tempted...plus we don't have a boat, LOL.

I don't like loading the quilt top on any of them but love to quilt with them.

When I first got my LA I was very anxious about loading also. I found that I just developed a system that worked for me and always am very generous in cutting backing and batting. Now I can easily load quite quickly.
