I do not have the room in my house for a long arm. I also don't have the money to buy one. I don't have the strength in my arm, bad shoulder, to wrestle a large quilt through my DSM. I do a lot of QAYG but there are some quilts I want that beautiful quilting. I can send out a lot of quilts to a LA for the cost of a machine. Maybe if I won the lottery I could build a room for a longarm.
