I've been bitten by the quilting bug, and Hard. I want a LA b/c I don't want to pay to send mine out, and I am totally Loving piecing the tops, but paying someone to quilt for me - eeks, I don't have the wallet for that...
I've been looking at a Juki 2010 w/a grace frame (2800.00) - which I think would suit me just fine. Initially, I thought "Hmmm, over the years, maybe this would be a nice retirement business?" However..... as I am learning to quilt, and correcting my own mistakes - I can't imagine having to deal with this on someone else's quilt (like others have mentioned!). So, I will save for an affordable LA and find a good person for referrals. This way, if asked, i can say "Nope, only quilt for me, but here's a wonderful person who does beautiful work, their number is...."
