I don't have a longarm, but I did have a midarm, & love it! After wrestling with quilts on my machine, I started bugging DH for a frame, & finally got one over a year ago! We have a small house & it's in the third bedroom, set up in crib size, which is perfect for me, as I haven't done & don't plan to do, many big bed quilts. I love my frame (Grace Mini Pinn) & I would tell anyone wanting a frame, check some of these out, even set up in the crib size, cause you can do big quilts in sections, then just sew them together! Quilting is so much easier on a frame!
