I would love a long arm - such different design possibilities. However, the price is fairly prohibitive here and one really needs to get heaps of business to pay for it. If I could afford one I'd be practising as many fancy variations of feathers that I could. Making a wholecloth would be exciting - especially if the fabric was black with bright coloured cotton sewn for the quilting.I would also like to try the black - light or fluorescent threads on the quilt as well.
