Without question the machine is easier to move. Yes, it does take up a lot of room but is so worth it, if you have the space and money for one. I the Side Saddle computer system with my longarm which makes it even easier. If do find that I often mix the freemotion quilting with the computer designs depending on the quilt pattern. I even do the small wall hangings on the LA. Small pot holders, mug rugs etc I do simple lines on the domestic.
