I have a grace pinnacle frame (not the king one) with a juki machine. I cannot quilt over a queen size quilt and it's frustrating. I am looking into getting a longarm to set up at my mother in laws house. She can learn to quilt on it by using our own quilt tops and I can retreat over there and quilt to my little heart is content. I suppose I justify this expense because I like to make large tops and do not want to be constricted to being put on a quilters waiting list and not being about to do it myself on the little frame I already have. I see it as... if I can finance one for 200-300 hundred a month then that is the expense if I send out two-three tops all depending on size. If I want the top customized then it'll be more money. Plus it'll give my mother in law something to do on retirement and it can be a learning experience together just as quilting was.
