I would love to own a long arm. Or even a sit down model with the 16" throat. But for now all I have is my DSM Bernina and I finish all my own quilts on it. Around here it costs from $200 - $300 to send out a queen size quilt to someone with a long arm. I don't have that kind of money for the amount of quilts I make. I would rather buy fabric (and pay the mortgage and buy groceries and not have to go back to work)
Last week I finished FMQ on a 100 x 111 quilt for my daughter. I think I did a pretty good job. It took 11 bobbins and 3 days but I did it without killing myself
