I bought a small Gammill last year and have never regretted it. I do quilt as a business, but only to keep me in quilting funds. I don't need to make a lot of money just enough to pay for fabric and retreats. I have found that I really love it. I am branching out into custom quilting and am enjoying the challenge. It is just another dimension to quilting. If you are thinking about it and weighing the pros and cons, I think you might be ready to take the leap.
