I have been struggling to decide what I want for weeks now. I have a Handiquilter frame so I was thinking that something with a larger throat would be good. But then the one I would really like, the Bernina 830 sells for more then a some long arm machines set ups. So maybe I should just go with a long arm. But then you need to have the frame set up and that takes up so much room.
Then yesterday I found the Patsy Thompson website and watched the first part of her beginner video and some of her other free demo videos online and she uses a Pfaff machine. Not sure which one, but she does beautiful things with it. She doesn't seem to need a longarm. So what to do, what to do?
Juki and Janome have a good (I think?) basic midarm that is built to put on a frame so that is also an idea. They are both under a 1000 I think on Ebay.
As you might figure out I am so confused. I would love to learn to do fantastic long arming and be able to make money doing it. But will I? Not even sure there is a market for such a thing in my area.
As you can tell, I am so confused. LOL
