Congratulations! At the International Quilt Show here in Manchester, NH last month I saw a mid-arm sit down quilter. I think it's called mid-arm. Anyway, I drooled. I have trouble standing for long periods of time so a long arm didn't interest me. Plus the size, cost and space needed. Anyway, now that I saw the mid-arm.....well, I can dream anyway. I just love what people are doing with thread today and thread painting. It's just so beautiful.
