I have a short arm on a long table. It is like a long arm but only has a 6" throat on the sewing machine. It works great, but. . . .

My daughter purchased a long arm a year ago and keeps telling me I ought to try it. I was afraid I would not want to use mine any more if I did.

This past week I finished a simple but pretty Valentine quilt. I wanted it done a specific way and knew I could not do it very well on the short arm. She said she would do it, but I wanted to do it. Off I went yesterday to finally try it out.

Yep. I was right I want to go back today and quilt another quilt. It was fun and went so fast.

I took a community quilt to learn on. I did it better the first time on that machine than I ever did with my shorter machine. I could do a broader pattern. Looked good.

I wonder if I can find someone to buy my short arm.
