Researching Longarms
So, the local shop is going to discontinue the service where I can go in and quilt my quilts on their longarm on a frame. I don't want to send them out to have them done. So.....
I am researching getting something to use at home. I currently have a machine that is too small to easily do a full-sized quilt or larger. Great machine, just not practical for FMQ. It has the embroidery features on it, so my new machine would not have to have these features.
I loved using the longarm on the frame. I have not done any sit-down FMQ, but hear that there are some people who prefer that (including Leah Day, who is a quilter I follow on YouTube) over the standup quilting.
I think I should stick with something that will not take up an entire room. We may downsize one day and I don't want to be in a pickle with a huge framed machine that I would no longer be able to use.
It will be used by my mom and me.
I am hoping for your experienced thoughts about what I am about to "get into." Thank you in advance, ladies!
