I also have the Tin Lizzie 18LS and love it. I bought it 3 years ago and have never looked back. I find I keep challenging myself to learn new techniques and really get into the custom quilting rather than the pantographs and end to end patterns. I've only done a handful of quilts for others and some charity quilts but once I retire from working full time I may look at taking in some for pay. Right now though I'm really enjoying having a long arm and consider it an extension of my love of quilting.
