[QUOTE=Quiltaddict;5200087]I don't have a long arm either, but I DO NOT want one. Do you realize how many quilts you can pay to get quilted for you for the cost of a long arm. And you don't have to do the work. I have no room for one anyway and don't really want to learn how to do it.[/QUOTE
I would love to have a long arm...and I intend to get one in the next couple of years. It is on my list after I get a new embroidery machine. Yes....one could pay to have several quilts quilted for the amount of a long arm but the convenience of it is what I am looking for. I do not like having to schedule months in advance to get a quilt long-armed. I like instant gratification....when I finish piecing a top, then I am ready to get it quilted right away. I hate like everything being put on a list for 3 or 4 months out.
