Reasons not to buy one (I have two longarms, so just playing devil's advocate here to help you out
)
1. loud
2. space
3. cost (think of all the fabric you could buy)
4. uses electricity (more cost)
5. the lint (omg the lint! Somehow it seems worse than my regular machine)
I didn't even know about the lint! Now I REALLY don't want one.
Thanks everyone for all the replies!
I have this idea that if I ever practice FMQ on my machine enough that I'm not terrible at it, then I can think about getting one, and so I've been wondering if it would even be possible (or maybe the word I want here is practical). Let's see, we could put the longarm in the master bedroom and then sleep in the hallway ...
