I don't own a longarm, nor will I ever be able to, but I do have a question. With something as important as a longarm in the art/craft of quilting, and as expensive as that machine is, how can they come into your home or shop, set it up, bombard you with instructions and leave!!!??? Don't they provide an instruction book for the longarm and instruction books for any added on feature that you buy? My word it sounds like they kind of leave you high and dry! Boy, I'd be all over them like a blanket to provide me with decent instructions. Fabric and batting are too expensive to be fooling around trying figure out your longarm. You need that to practice your quilting designs. Just saying.
