Hi Spice
No longarms in this part of the world! I found four people in switzerland and germany that custom quilt on big APQS machines and thats why we have to pay for the quilting $ 400 and up for a queen.............
The biggest it gets here is Pfaff grand quilter and Janome 6600. I want it bigger, much bigger :lol:
