Well after saving, thinking, dwelling, obsessing, dreaming and coveting I finally took the plunge this weekend and put down a deposit on a Longarm. I am getting the 26" Innova with a 10 ft frame. Couldn't go any bigger on the frame in my house. I can quilt up to a 96" wide quilt on it with 108" backing. Figured I'd never really do anything bigger then that anyway for myself and if I ever get good enough to quilt for others it will have to be queen size or less. I am getting my dealership's demo model which saved me a few thousand and it will still have the full warrantee. I am excited and scared at the same time. Now I have to get the room dedicated to it ready by removing everything in it! Lucky for me there isn't too much in it right now, just a bed and a dresser, our window a/c unit and a big rubbermade tote. It will be about 6 to 8 weeks because my dealer can't give up the demo until they get the replacement machine.

Congratulations. I've been looking into the Innova machines, but just can't afford one right now.

Congratulation! Hmmm...You are in the Albany area...I never miss a chance to play with a long arm...I may knock on your door with iced tea and cookies.
