I'm not sure who would be interested, but one of our local quilt shops is closing. It was a great shop, too. The mom died and the daughters tried to keep it going. I think Covid finally got them. They have two tin lizzies for sale. The shop is Pieced Together Studio in Mesquite, TX (a Dallas suburb).

SewQuiltyElf, shopping for a long arm can be daunting. It took me almost two years to decide on a purchase. A lot depends on how much you want to spend and the feel of the machine…if you can, test drive them. It also helps to have a dealer or service near you.

I started with a Qnique 15 with no computerization. After 2 years i realized i was not happy with the set up and upgraded to an HQ Amara with computer. I LOVE IT. My sister and i have finished so many quilts.
I attended a longarm class just to learn more and realized i would be happier with the electronics. Got a deal for attending the class. Traded in my Qnique set up. I am about as happy as i can be! Is there a learning curve? You bet! But as long as i am loving it I am ok. Have you seen AdamSewFun? He is great and he says: It’s quilting and as long as you are loving it . . .
