I now have the information that tells me which is more accurate. I recently had my fist LA quilted quilts. It is perfect not a single flaw. Even my mid arm would show flaws. (not working right now). I am using my domestic machine now and there are flaws there too. It works fine though for my purposes. If I can afford LA all the time I would do it that way. However for now it is my DSM and I always love the finished project.
