Hi, Decided it was time to buy a longarm when my quilts were getting bigger and my sewing machine was not. I enjoyed quilting on my machine but the big quilts were a hassel. Also, in the back of my mind I was thinking of starting a business when I retired. Also, I want to pay for the machine while I was still working. So I jumped in and have never looked back - except in awe at how I quilted on my sewing machine.
