Its $40.00 to send a full size quilt here to have it quilted....so if you have the room I say GO for it...it will save you money in the long run. I bought a Horizon 7700 since I do not have the room for a frame at this time. I have FMQ'd quite a few quilts already...so its slowly paying for its self and also the joy of doing the FMQ'ing myself instead of having a stranger do it for me...and everyone drooling over the FMQ'ing and say how awesome it is....the one part I did not do myself...I felt awkward saying I did not do the quilting...so from now on I do it myself. Mistakes and all...but I did it. ; )
