Thanks, Skeat, for the vote of confidance. But, I've given this alot of thought and my mind is pretty much made up to sell my long arm. For one thing, I think I bought it on impulse after my Mom died (long story). More importantly is that I don't make enough quilts to justify keeping this machine. And what I enjoy most about quilting is the selection of fabric and piecing! I really did not enjoy working with my long arm. Can't see having my money tied up in that machine when I could be enjoying it in so many other ways. It is a beautiful machine for the right individual. Not me. But thanks again for your kind words of encouragement. I wish you lived closer so that you could give my HQ Sixteen a new home. Nita
