    Very interesting! Looks perfect for someone with limited room.

    Every quilter should take their time and find the correct equipment for their situation. I have quilted on my Bernina 1530 for almost two decades and found with correct support for the quilt on my left side and behind the sewing machine, I have easily quilted up to queen size quilts without any problem.

    No it is reasonably priced considering you are paying for the design as well as the materials the product is made with.

    What a wonderful price for your long arm! I couldn't begin to get into one under $6,000. And that was not one I really liked. It's good to hear that you are happy with yours and finding the enjoyment it offers you.

    Two other things helped me decide on getting the shortE.
    1. The space needed for a long arm. No matter how much I measured I needed a couple more feet to have enough room.
    2. I've spent an incredible amount of time learning the embroidery process and to be able to use that feature to quilt my quilts is such a great opportunity to use what I have with my machine.

    The learning of long arming is another cost in time and effort. I'm sure I would of loved it. Perhaps a ways down the road I may change my mind. I just love quilting and everything about it. Isn't it a wonderful thing to have what we do. It makes our lives so much fuller and richer.

    Oh how I envy your skill. I agree with you on the support for the quilt. I could just not find it. I love the fact that you quilt queen size quilts. I always end up with big ones. Love this stuff we do.

    Thanks everyone for your fun comments. I just had to share my excitement with you. My family and friends are non quilters and they just cannot understand my thrill at finding something that works for me with my hobby of quilt making. I love it here.

    I've not heard of the Jennoop...I had to look it up. Cool, I'm glad it is working for you. Isn't life good to give us these wonderful things for our wonderful hobby!
