long arm question
#1
I am trying to decide between 2 machines.. a 13inch or a 15 inch. Can, anyone tell me if there is a dramatic difference in the 2 inches, or would the 13 inch give me enough quilting space. I am a home quilter and only do as a hobby. The price difference is pretty great, so I am trying to find out if it is worth the money for the extra two inches.
Thanks, Danielle

I think once you get a long arm (or midarm, as you are looking at), you FIND, even invent, projects to do on it! I have an Avante- 18 inch, and have discovered I love thread painting.
So, I agree, buy the most space you can afford.

Get the biggest a throat space that you can afford. ( for some reason this doesn't sound right ) lol
It's better than finding out your not happy with it 7 should have gone the extra.
Then you roll a good size quilt on the roller the space you can quilt in gets smaller. 2" doesn't sound like much but it does make a difference.
Good luck. I'm sure you'll enjoy whatever you get.

I agree with buying the most you can - for what you can afford - even if that means saving for a while longer to get what you want and need.
No sense spending say $1200 on something because you don't want to spend $2800 (even though you reallllly want and will use the $2800 one).
I know I'd regret it. That's why I'm still saving for the big longarm. Won't be too much longer...I hope!

I have a bailey 15", at the end of a queen with low loft cotton batt the most i can do is an 8" pass so i would think with a 13" you may only get 5-6"
i agree with the others , get the most you can for more satisfaction
