You said it very well! I think we all know our comfort level and skill level! I also think that people know you quilt and they think everyone needs a long arm! These are people who obivously don't understand the diffrent skill levels or time it takes. Like some people aren't comfortable quilting there own quilts by fm or by hand. We all have our reasons and comfort zones! OMG, my neighbor sends all her quilts out to a longarmer!They are breath taking to see when their done. Mine, I do FM and while they are not breath taking, they are still beautiful! I am happy with that for now!
