There is actually a man, who I believe is very disabled, who takes regular machines and stretches them into small-armed longarms :) He has quite a little following going on, and is very sucessful at this. I can't remember his name...but I've seen him all over the 'net and he has his own website also. Tell your hubby to hurry up!!! People are waiting :) LA's really are very expensive for the amount/type of materials - in my opinion...which I consider valid since I bought one too!
