They are so HUGE! I'd have to have my attic finished off to fit one in, and that's not a financial option. As someone said, I've also spent less on cars. Last summer I won a class with local super MQer, who made and quilted Best in Show for VT quilt fest. She's a great teacher, but after more than 3 exhausting hours standing up, learning how to attach quilt, and do the basics, I decided it's not something I want to do. I could rent time in her studio to do a quilt I'm working on, but it gets pretty costly, too. Guess I'll stick to my own machine for now.
