I love everything about the process except the sandwiching its a pain whether hand or machine quilting. I love to hand quilt but am slow and like the machine for quilts for baby quilts or evenfor one thats going off to college with someone. I dreamed of having my own longarm and bought a Tin Lizzie last spring. It hasn't worked properly since I got it and the company won't return my phone calls, the repairman from the dealer has been out several times but the owner won't let him do anything but replace one part over and over.
