I bought my Bailey midarm and put it on a used frame when l retired. I love fmq stitching with it! I make project Linus quilts and fundraisers that are raffled. For the past 4 yr., l have also stitched a great many charity quilts for the charity quilting group l belong to. The members are tickled to death to be able to send me their tops. The group funds the backing and batting. I donate my time and purchase thread. Every so often, they give me a gift card or $ towards thread. They show their appreciation, and l get to work on some really marvelous Valor and baby quilts. For me, it's enough to " give back" to the community. If l turned proffesional, it would take the fun right out of it.
