I find your post encouraging! I am 60 and just purchased a very nice, used Grace frame. I live in an apartment and it's set up in the bedroom. I hope in the next few months to get a 9" machine or a Bailey. My goal is to become proficient with the short arm setup. I've seen beautiful work done with a short arm. This is part of the quilting process I want to learn. I want to finish my big stack of tops and get them on the beds of my loved ones. There's no way I can afford a longarmer and keep piecing.
