Well Ladies I learned to never say never, this is a true story. Some one I know just had one of her friends GIVE her a LA frame and machine, the lady was getting a divorice and couldn't take it with her so she just gave it away, so there is always hope.
I FM quilt on a small Brother with a 8" opening, it isn't easy but can be done if you take your time. I usually hand quilt the bigger ones, but the last queen size I did I made in long strips and quilted the strips then sewed them together it was really easy because the strips were only 16" wide.
