Seriously, my long arm will be living at our shop which is about 7 miles away. The shop is enormous and has two separate offices ... one is 19' long and 10' wide and was just screaming "I need a long arm in here". The other is about 10 X 10 and we use it for storing our trade show supplies for the business.
Picked the machine up today. The owner was kind enough that he had the fame all broken down and carried it and the head up stairs to the main floor. We then dropped it off at the shop but had to come home as we have other things on our agenda. I only stayed long enough to vacuum the carpet and the walls (unused rooms collect so many spiders ... I killed several today!!). So ... as of this moment it's *mine* but it's not set up yet
So no pic's to share.
I did read both of the manuals on the way home. Good girl!!
The sad part is the woman that I bought it from. She bought it in 2008, had only quilted 3 quilts on it then decided that she was giving up quilting. Shortly after that she was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer and is currently undergoing chemo. She, her husband and her sister (whom I met) were such wonderful people. I wish her the best and hope that she makes a complete recovery. I'll be thinking of Kathy every time I use it.
