good answer, good answer!
My mom is 82 years old and although she isn't wanting a long arm bc she is
losing her sight, I have told her "you can't take it with you" and to have fun.
So she bought some quilting toys, (yes she still quilts by "feeling" and she
enjoys it.)
I think you were ready before the naysayers got involved.
Yes, it's a big purchase but if it's going to give you joy then it's not up to
them. Even if it doesn't bring you all the joy you want, it's still not up to them.
You can always resell.
I'm having to resell my sewing room for a very good family reason.
I made peace with it but it brought me a lot of happy hours while I was
using it.
You certainly sound capable of learning it. Good luck and bless you .
