I just purchased a Crown Jewel with the 12' Pearl frame. I was going to get the HQ Avante, but I wanted Quilt Motion also. I have Lupus, RA, AS and some other issues and talked to my doctor about it. I have quilted for yeas and then my illness got in the way. After 4 yrs of battling it, I am now back on my feet. I am limited, but I need something to look forward to and feel like I have accomplished something. (I am creative). So, that being said, I needed something that glided and on the days I could not stand there or sit for long periods of time, the Quilt Motion would take care of that for me. I am so excited I can not wait for it to get here. I love to quilt and have done oversized kings on my large Brother, but my shoulders/arms can not take it anymore. So I got an awesome deal from a QS about 50 miles from me. They included so much other stuff that otherwise would nickle/dime you to death, that I will be ready with all I need and then some.
I am also thinking about quilting quilts for other people. I have to be careful and work at my own pace or I end up not being well for a bit and have to do what I call "recharge my battery".
I have good days and bad days and go for infusions once a month. So I need something to do that I can work around my illness with. I do not/nor can I work anymore. I used to be a very busy woman that went 110%. So giving me back my sewing, embroidering and quitling has been God Sent for me.
So I can use all the advice I can get.
This is going to be an awesome adventure!
