What kind of a top can you get for that? In my current quilt I have spent more than $60 on fabric and used most of it. Not to mention all the hours of cutting, trimming it up and stitching it together.
Instead of selling your tops maybe find someone who is learning on their long arm and wants to practice, you could provide tha backing and batting and they could quilt it for you. I know when I first got mine there was a learning
curve, I am still learning. Practice, practice makes you better. I had a few tops of mine own to start on. I have done 5 quilts so far and getting ready to put another on the frame soon. But I still have lots to learn.
