I bought my first one and last one for just myself. I occasionally will quilt for a friend of mine but I don't feel I'm good enough to hire out. Just added IQ robotics to my Innova on Tuesday so I'm in hog heaven right now getting to know how to use it. Again, I didn't mind the cost as it would help me in the long run. I still have to make the decisions on what to stitch out on my quilts so I haven't left it all up to the robotics to do it all. Laying out the patterns is still a big job.
