I keep seeing people talk about getting the long arms. That would be very nice IF that were an option; but I feel sure that there are many of you out there like myself who (1) don't have that kind of money to put into a long-arm and (2) don't have the space to set up any additional machinery or furniture. I've only quilted on my regular machines or hand-quilted; and would say for you to put your beautiful quilt aside for right now; and practice on other, smaller projects as many have suggested. You'll get there. Good luck and be sure and show us your finished project once you are there.
