New things at Paducah
Two longarm companies have put their 16" or so throat machines into cabinets so you move the quilt instead of the traditional longarm where you move the machine. They don't take as much space as the longarm. In the $5,000 range. The ones I looked at today were HandiQuilter and Tin Lizzie.
Also, this year steam floor cleaners were selling like hotcakes. The demo gal was steaming a quilt. I don't get it. Wouldn't that just force the dust down into the quilt? Who wants to clean floors instead of sew anyway?
