That's funny. :)
I'm addicted to free-motion quilting - I use my old Singer 15's for most of them because of the extra space, but I've quilted some very large quilts on a Lady Kenmore, which has about the same amount of space under the arm as most modern plastic sewing machines.
It's a struggle when you start because you're sewing in the middle of the quilt and have the most bulk to shove under the arm. But it gets easier as you move outward and the last couple of feet around the outside edge are much less physically taxing than the initial quilting.
I can't imagine not quilting, though - no matter how difficult it can sometimes be.
