No you're not the only one. Even if I had the $$$, the cost would be pretty silly for me to spend at my age. But all the pics I've seen of the long arms look like you have to stand up to do it. That would be an impossibility for me.
But the main reason for me is I LOVE hand quilting & the peace it seems to give me - I've 'worked out" a lot of problems mentally while sitting at my quilt frame. My "uncle arthur-itis" not dictates when/how long I can quilt, & my stitches may not be what they once were when ribbons were won, but they are MY stitiches & love put in every one.
