Like me, I bet alot of you do one step at a time.
It costs more in the long run when you try plastic tables, sliders, halos, new computer machine with large throat, etc.
I am now going into the long arm set up with no long arm just a strait stitch. Money is the bottom line.
It would have been cheaper to just get a long arm to begin with but few have the funds to do that.
The long arm machine is way over my budget so will contend with a straight stitch with a 9 inch throat.
Nothing compares with a long arm.
