    I had seen some where online a system of pvc tubes that had attachments at each end.

    You rolled the quilt top on one, the batting on another and then the batting on the third. There were shorter pieces of tubing that you would put under each end of the contraption for ease of movement.

    Darn if I can find the link now!!!

    I have a Gammill Classic that I quilt my quilts with.
    We did have a business of longarm quilting but with the economy like it is & the crap that the Obama administration is doing, we shut it down in October last year. Not worth the hassle of having to pay taxes each month.

    After reading all the pros and cons, I'm going to get one.

    I do FMQing and I think this would make it SO much easier.

    I'm also thinking about trying to find a used sewing machine with a larger neck area.

    I have a Janome Heart Truth, not sure about its neck size.

    My DH was just saying I should get a LA but I don't have the room. He said he will build me my own building to use it. If only we had that kind of money. lol

    I have a HQ16 and have found that it easily accommodates a king sized quilt. I think the difference between it and a long arm is the size of pattern that can be quilted. I'm no artist but I am learning freehand quilting!!
