    Well I spoke with my dealer yesterday. Interestingly, she said she does not think I would like a sit down quilting machine either. She said you have to adjust the tension or other little things more...

    Yes. I can do embroidery quilting on my regular machine if I want a little something extra in my quilts. I'm actually very good at stitch in the ditch in my regular sewing machine. I just don't like...

    Thanks everyone for all your helpful input. I talked with my dealer and one other local dealer, since I want to trade in my long arm. They're working up a value on my long arm. Apparently they lose a...

    That's great that you don't mind quilting king sized quilts with a 10" harp! Unfortunately, I don't enjoy doing the same, which is why I was asking about a machine with a larger harp. I agree that...

    Good point. I shouldn't have let my frustration get the best of me. How about other ideas,that don't include keeping or getting another long arm?

    I'm sorry for getting snarky everyone.

    I looked this up. It's got 12.2 inches and 5.5 inches in height, but ouch, it's 15,000$! I'll definitely have to give this more thought and do more research.

    Thank you everyone!

    i never minded quilting a smaller quilt, such as a crib size or maybe even a smallish lap size on my regular sewing machine, so it's not the actual process of quilting, and when my long arm just...

    Thank you everyone for your input. I think I'm going to call my dealer next week and see if she will work with me. If not, I'll have to figure out how to sell my long arm before I do anything else.
