Hello Everyone,
I just found this board while looking for a long arm quilting machine. I think I will really like it here. My old board closed down. I missed seeing what everyone is making.

I have been sewing for 49 years, and made a few little quilts, but in the last 4 years, I have really started quilting.
I have an embroidery shop in my garage, with 3 machines, and I also have 2 sewing machine and 1 surger set up all the time. You tend to sew more if the machines are out.
My husband wants to buy me a long arm quilter, but it will have to go in the sunroom. I have too much in the shop already.
So I've been looking at them. Does anyone have any ideas? I don't want an industrial machine, just one for home use. I was looking into the Handi-quilter, has anyone had one of them?

I look forward to chatting with you all. :D
