I bought my sit down for me. I don't have any desire to quilt for others. When I was making jewelry I used to do some commissions and I always found that to be stressful.
ninab- if you're looking at getting a frame system, you might want to think about getting a larger machine than the Juki 2010. The quilt rolls up on the bar in the throat of the machine and that takes up quite a bit of quilting space so you would not be able to quilt the full depth of the throat.
If on the other hand you find you like to do quilting on your domestic (moving the quilt rather than the machine), then the Juki 2010 would be a great machine to give you a little more throat space and better visibility. And you can get it for under $1000.
