I quilt on my Husqvarna Viking Sapphire 835, it has the longer throat on it. So far, I have been able to fit some queen sized quilts on it without too much trouble and work! One of these days though, I am going to get a long-arm. Have had the chance to try them out and love, love it! But that is a long way down the road for me. That's amazing that lady will quilt for $20 a quilt! I can't imagine how she covers her own costs for batting and thread and not to mention her time. Leah Day has some great videos on You Tube to help you get started on quilting on your sewing machine. I've learned a lot from that.
