I am very thrilled for you. We all need something for ourselves sometimes.I just tell my husband , when he sees my fabric stash and quilting toy's that it keeps me "off the streets and out of the bars!"...just kidding him, I don't drink at all! I got a BIG hankering for a long arm quilter,but couldn't affort $14.000.
After much net research I finally found one I could afford at Bailey's on the net+it fits my Grace frame She isn't fancy, but she's great and they have good after-service.Recently I found "Bayside" on the net and bought several patterns, called "quiltboards." Now I pick my pattern. Set my frame stylis in the quilt board groove and go to town.
Love it, Love it! I have no connection W/ either store, just passing along what I did.Most of us can't afford one of those fancy name longarms. Bailey's is affordable.
