a year or so of quilting on the DSM, I got a PC Quilter and Juki with a frame as well. Turns out that the Juki's 9" throat is not really big enough to do the quilting I wanted to do. Also, the PC Quilter is terrific, but my confidence increased and I found I wanted to do more free motion. So for a few years now, I've been dreaming of a real long arm. I've tried a few at fairs and talked to lots of folks. I've been dreaming of the purchase and have not decided on a brand. However, I recently took early retirement and money is now tight. Guess I'll be dreaming a while longer :cry:
