I've wondered that too - how does a "straight" stitch machine work as a "longarm".
PS If I didn't have to share the house with my husband, my living room would probably look like that too!
Well it rides the carriage along the tracks. Just think the reverse of free motion quilting under your sit down machine. ( you would normally move the quilt,but with this set up ya move the machine.) Some of these other ladies might be able to explain it bettter. I drewl ova the real long arms! I think they concider mine a short arm??
Does the carriage move side to side or does it allow you to go back and forth too? Does it move in more than two directions?
