For all those of you who are thinking about renting time on an la. They are not easy to run I mean it takes practice and lots of it. I wanted a la really bad until I got one. I do not like to use it the learning curve is really long, not hard but you need lots of time. hence I have a really good longer who does my quilts . They come back beautifully quilted. I would advice find a friend who will help you use hers for a trial run. To see if you want to long arm first. Just my experence. some of us are longarmers and some of us are not, many$$$$$ later I found out I'am a quilter.
