The main difference between mid-arm and Long-arm quilting machines is the depth, from the needle to the back of the machine ("reach" on the frame front to back). Most mid-arm machines can accomplish what our longarm machines can, so I totally agree...don't discount a midarm machine user...he/she can do the job just as well (if not better) than those of us who have longarm machines.

However, I have a midarm and know of several who also have midarms and they do beautiful quilting. Mine even had the computer option so I can download quilting patterns off the internet and then do whatever I might want with them.
My midarm can go to almost 10 ft in one direction. Some of the gals I know have theirs out to 12 ft. So we can do almost all quilts. Please don't discount us.
