It doesn't matter how many times I measure my room it isn't big enough for a long arm. My husband suggested I clean out an old house his grandmother used to live in. It would be a huge project - it is filled with junk, the floor is rotting and it has no electricity. I think I might take him up on the challenge! It will take at least a year if I decide to do it. In the meantime I'm learning how to quilt on my Bernina 830.
