I am content to let my friend do the longarm quilting. She is exceptionally talented and discounts her prices for me! My DH offered to get me "any machine I wanted," but I am happy with just piecing away on my $189 portable Brother. I was tempted by a Pfaff Passport until yesterday, when I realized it was really similar to the one I already own (and it kept jamming). I am grateful to have a machine that is simple and not tempermental.
