Such a great reminder, mcook03! I often refuse to try more expensive options because I don't want to become discontent with the cheaper option.
However, I did break down and get a longarm almost 2 years ago. I hope to use it for additional income now and when I get ready to retire...which will be no time soon.
Before that I learned on this board to turn my sewing machine a 1/4 turn counter-clockwise to give me more room for my right hand and built a "table" to give me a smooth surface. Here is a link to my post 3 years ago:
