My regret is buying a domestic machine for a long arm table. It is just not working out.
I cant afford a long arm machine and the 9 inch throat on my machine is to much hassel to use on my table. Constant walking around the table to set up the machine for quilting. The bobbin is to small and runs out of thread fast and you dont know it cause you cant see it.
Basting the sides of the quilt are impossible with such a small area so need to do it by hand somehow. Right now it just sits taking up room in my sewing room.
Also no classes or videos for this kind of quilting.
So be sure you can afford the machine that is meant for a long arm table before you buy.
