sorry, this just can't be done. with the longarm, you move the machine. think of it as the pencil and the quilt as the paper. Handiquilter does make a sit-down version though
I wonder if a longarm could be used without that huge frame. Just set it on a table as you would a regular machine and use it that way. It certainly would be easy with such a large throat space! It would be good for those of us who don't have the room for that big frame! :-)[/quote]
