My best quilting buddy & I have rented the LA at LQS to do laps to king size. The LQS had used frame & machine they were selling for a customer. My friend bought it for $1000. After resolving tension issues, etc, it took me just a couple hours to FMQ both lap sized quilts(one stippled, the other swirls). I LOVE IT!!!! Both my friend & LQS are both 1 1/2 hours away. Tomorrow I am going to meet (hopefully) my own used LA. DH is going also & says we can use one of our bedrooms. :))))) I think I will (start and) FINISH more quilts with it.
