Did you want to start up a business to make money at it?
How long did it actually take to make the purchase? months? years?
Thanks
Started looking and researching 6 months after I learned to piece.
I ordered my LA 9 months after I learned to piece a quilt and had it a month later.
Had a quilt ruined by a LA quilter and decided I wanted more control (she had tension issues and rather than stop, she forged on).
Had my first customer quilt on the frame 1 week after I got my LA. I love to quilt and can't make quilts fast enough to keep my LA busy...plus the $ from LA quilting for others gives me $ to buy more thread and material! I would rather do the quilting then any other part of the process!
