Well, I figured it out.......at an average of $100. a quilt, I'd have to do 180 quilts to pay for this longarm setup that I'm working on (I'm babysitting it for a friend - lucky me!) This is not counting the classes and templates or extra designs I've bought. I figure I can't do but maybe 3 quilts a month average due to my health and our desire to travel.....so it will take me 60 months to pay for the machine. So does that work for you? Oh, it took me 6 months to get brave enough to do it for others.
