Am I the only one who doesn't want a long arm? What.....

I just can't justify the cost for one, so continue to quilt on my regular machine. I'd like to rent one to finish my quilts on, but can't find any to rent in our area of the state. Beside, I don't have room for one, so will have to be happy like I am.

Even if I had the $ for one, I don't have the space.. I quilt my quilts in sections and my machine can handle that plus I do more hand quilting than machine quilting.

In fact, we built our house so that I would have room to put a big floor frame in our living area, so I would have room to quilt. My little simple quilting frame costs pennies compared to a LA machine and serves me very well.

I've been considering a Sweet Sixteen, a Juki or a Janome Horizon to get a larger throat. I tried the Horizon at the Maine Quilt Show and wow, what a machine. Such cute stitches too. Not that important I know but tempting anyway. When I retire a few years down the road, I'm going to get some kind of a new machine so am just researching now for fun.
