I finally decided it was time to buy a longarm quilting machine. Decided on an Innova and then went to Ephrata to try it out. Cindi-the shop owner- let me quilt my own quilt on her machine to try it out! I am so excited to get my own machine now in a couple of weeks. It was easy and fun. I was a bit tired after doing the whole quilt in a few hours, but it sure felt good to create and finish it myself.
