My husband bought me a mid-arm and a frame as a wedding present. (we are geezer newlyweds.) Now our house is on the market because the only place to comfortably put the thing is in the living room. He asked if we would have have a living room again, and I told him only if we moved.
Ha! Now my frame is in a small bedroom, and I have zero room, while the house is on the market. Of course, the market is sloooowwwww here, so it has been 8 months so far. Damnit.
He says when we get settled in a new house with more room, we can look for a long arm. (I'm thinking on the lower end). He's a keeper. He looks at them at quilt shows with me, so he knows how much they cost. He's a definite keeper.
