I love my longarm, and yes it takes some practice and time to get it mastered (if you ever do!!!!). At times I think it masters me!
An Avante is an 18" throat correct? So how do you find it managing the 12" blocks on point for example? I have yet to make a quilt on point, but still curious how much of a pain it would be.
