OK--I do long arming professionally--but do understand that you are looking for way to finish some quilts for your Mom and not break the bank? I visited the LQS in Stover MO and they have a unique set up and only do edge2edge--but the prices were very reasonable so you might check there. Also, I'm hearing of more churches with quilting groups that raise $$ for charity by hand quilting for others--check with the LQS in Denver to see if any know of these groups.
