I dream about having one...does that count?

I am in awe of the talent out there! I wish I knew someone locally who owned one that could adopt me and teach me all they know! Unless I hit the lottery, I don't expect to ever own one. :( I'll just have to sit back and admire the work of others.

I have a Gammill with a Statler Stitcher computer, and I'd trade my HUSBAND before I'd trade my machine! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I just got a Husqvarna Viking Mega Quilter 18/8 and so far am having lots of fun. No computer for it in the near or distant future. I wanted it to FMQ & meander.

I have a Gammill that I purchased last Christmas. Hand stitch? NEVER, if possible. I am no good at hand stitching except bindings which I love to do.

After trying to quilt a queen size quilt on a domestic sewing machine ,I bought a periwinkle wrought iron frame and used a brother sewing machine but that did not meet my needs ,so sold that and bought an A1 12 foot long arm .I can quilt any size quilt it has a hydraulic motor that raises the table up or down and have hydraulic saddle back chair if I want to sit and sew.

I have an HQ16 for the past 6 yrs now and I am still learning on it, but I wouldn't get any quilts done if I didn't have it.

I am now the proud owner of the HQ Avante 18. I just got it set up and leveled, after of course the room was repainted etc. I had the opportunity to take some lessons on one and then decided if I should buy it - well that's history! New longarmer and loving it. :thumbup:

I purchased an Innova, no computer but with a stitch regulator and their 12' frame at the AQS show in Lancaster. It was delivered April 1, but this is no April-fool's joke. I LOVE IT! So far I've done a very, very large practice muslin piece, and am on my second quilt. I'm heading out to St. George for their 3-day LAQ class at the end of June.
