I've not been longarming for long, but I did a Full-size quilt - in the meandering pattern, in just a few hours. I did it on the mid-arm -- which means that pattern size was smaller in width, so I had to roll the quilt 3 times more often than on the Longarms. That also included goofing off time! LOL I definately KNOW it should be done within the week. I'd think the quilter would want it OFF her machine.
