I used to send mine out, but now I mostly make smaller quilts and do them myself by hand or machine. When I do make a larger one than I can handle these days, I barter services with my longarmer and no cash changes hand.
As I understand it, you bought the Bernina quilting frame when you bought your 830 a year or two ago and haven't even taken it out of the box yet. If I already had that equipment, I sure as blazes have a couple years practice in on it already and would have stopped sending mine out long ago!
