I don't have the room for one so not buying one. I have friends that have them and love them. One lets me quilt on her machine with her. We make a girls night. She does a row and I do a row. It is fun to work and catch up. I also have found from my quilt guild that I can take a class at our local store and rent time on their longarm that is set up in the store. I am investigating that option as it is close to my home.
