I just got an opportunity to purchase a computerized long-arm quilter with frame for $800.00. Just this minute! The gal said her mother just didn't want it and would part with it for that even though she paid way more. I don't know a brand or size or anything yet, but I know the woman and she is VERY meticulous and a little bit of a wealthy eccentric. A couple of years ago she started designing a quilting room planning for her retirement. She bought the long arm quilter, new sewing machine, fabrics galore, and other accessories, then when she retired she didn't want to stay home afterall so she went back to work! I have been told this room looks like a fabric store! Anyway, when she gets back from her vacation she says I can come over with a quilt that needs quilting and she will show me how to set up my quilt, put it on the frame and even quilt it. Then she says I can decide if I still want it. This sounds too good to be true, huh? And am so excited! Only been a fantasy for the past year!

Definitely go for it. Even if you need to have the machine cleaned and serviced, it's well worth the $800. Oh how I wish something like that fell into my lap!!

Even if the amount was $8000 instead of $800, it still sounds like a bargain.

Oh, now I am excited for you too! We will be waiting for an update.

Good things come to good people. I am a firm believer if you concentrate on what you want it will come to you.

Good for you, if I had a chance at one like that I would be very tempted to find space for it.

Sounds great to me, she is letting you try it out so it should be in good working order for that price I would snatch it up

DogHouseMom

Wow ... people pay $800 for just the frame. Sounds great to me too!!

Go for it - for sure! If a quilting machine has been in the back of your mind - then this is your chance of a lifetime!
