Okay, enough whining. My biggest problem is I hand quilt all my projects because I only make bed quilts. I've tried a few times to machine quilt, but it just doesn't work for me. For one thing the throat on my machine is like eight inches and I can not figure out how to roll up a queen sized quilt and stuff it into that small space. How on earth do you all quilt on your sewing machines?
I'm the same as you - do all my quilting by hand - I still do 'free motion' just don't have the hassle of stuffing it through the machine - as for a long arm not interested I LOVE HAND QUILTING :D and just think if there is a power cut you can still carry on (with battery operated lights) that is one benefit I can think of - must be more? :D
