I was posting this in response to someone who wanted a longarm but couldn't afford and was thinking about a midarm. I couldn't really afford the midarm either, so I made my own. I've made 7 or 8 quilts on it so far and it works like a charm. It is an old darning machine - they don't have feed dogs. I made a piece out of plexiglass so that I had a base to sew on and that is it. Cost me nothing. I was given the old darning machine and the plexiglass fell out from behind a cabinet in the garage when I was pondering how I was going to make this work.
