Are there any inexpensive long arms? I keep hearing they are in the 8 to 10 thousand dollar range (eek!). I have a cheap machine that cost about $200 but it is trucking along.
You are describing why many quilters quilt by check. Yeah, longarms are 8-25 K, or more, but for a larger quilt like yours, it is the only way it will get quilted. If I didn't have a longarm, I would quilt by check or tie my quilts! I tried the DSM and hated it.
