it took me about 12 months or so to find a used setup that i wanted.
i was a beginner when i got it since it was my first time ever using a longarm.
at this point i would consider myself advanced or professional since i make my living thru quilting.
My only true hobby is genealogy and I have been doing that for over 20 years. I knew immediately when I started, that I loved it. I feel the same way about quilting. I have tried other things, but nothing even comes close.
Funny thing, I have very fond memories of my grandmother making quilts, but I never even tried to sew until recently! It truly bit me and I will follow this passion! Thanks for sharing!
