I agree- just the cost savings for quilting yourself vs. sending it out- pays for itself in no time at all. I calculate just my UFOs will make it pay for itself and clean up a shelf.
I also agree with the thread cutting feature. It saves about 3 inches of thread each time. That adds up too- not to mention less clean up.
Can't wait for the frame to get here. I don't know where it's going yet, thought the formal living room we don't use but daughter is packing her stuff to go to Japan in there and you have to wade through the boxes. I more week and it can be cleaned! Then I'll take over!
