Hey! Wishful thinking works. I have been dreaming and wishing for a long arm. Last night UPS delivered my new HQ 18 Avante with the pro-stitcher and studio frame. It took everything in my power to not rip open every box, raid the Hub's tool box and start putting the thing up. I started with the small things for quilting then worked my way up to the top of my list. Paid for everything cash ( so there was NO guilt factor ) Hub's took one look at all 7 boxes and turned to me and had the nerve to say " Well, now you have it all. There can't be anything left for you to buy for quilting " I think it was a challenge.....silly man....
