Oh boy, you guys have hit a nerve with me! I have been wanting a "Tin Lizzy" for years but there's always a reason why I can't get one. My husband's reasoning is that, we don't have the room! Well, our house has 6 bedrooms and all but one of our children are out of the house. He has a sailboat, a yacht club membership plus all of the other expenses involved with the upkeep of the boat. Now we're going to be moving into a smaller house and... you guessed it... now there won't be any room! (But, I can always find room.) Enjoy your long arm! I'll be sending my quilts out to be quilted.
