I have the Tin Lizzie 18DLS which my DH bought for me last April and I love her. After I went through all the learning curves with her, we became great friends. I have quilted a couple of quilts for a dear friend, but, I have no intention of turning it into a business. And for some reason, I no longer have the need to justify having one for personal use, I just enjoy her.

I have a Tin Lizzie 18 and love it! Just had knee replacement surgery so will have to wait a while to use her again.

I have a Tin Lizzie and have finally gotten the bugs out of her. It took 2 years. With so many of us having LA's I wonder why there isn't a forum dedicated to our part in quilting. Or is there one and in this new version of the site I have not found it?

I also have the Viking 18/8, on a Grace frame. I am getting pretty good at meander, having had mine less than a year. Will never be good enough to do it professionally. But it is wonderful for all my charity quilts.

How about pot luck. You're entitled to do your own thing at 82. Besides, the quilts last longer than the food.

I have a Voyager 17 and a Hinterberg frame. I quilt only for myself and have no desire to every do it for anyone else.

I have a Juki with an 18 " throat. My frame was part of a package from a Canadian Co. B-line on British Columbia. Total package under 6K.
