My longarm arrives on Friday...yeah!!!
I did a bit of research before I purchased a Handi Quilter Avante with a 12 foot frame. Sooo very excited. I have spent the last week watching every video I could get my hands on to further my longarm experience. Thanks to many of you for posting your thoughts & experiences with longarm machines on this board. I read so many posts that helped me to clarify & zone in on what was important to me as a quilter and future longarmer (is that a word?). I will say that cost ($9,200.00 no tax, no shipping fees), space (to house the machine), machine reviews, local support (I live an hour away from the nearest city) and financing (60 month no interest) were deciding factors. Anyway, will continue to educate myself on my new machine & longarm quilting. Any suggestions on longarm sites/blogs? Happy quilting...
