Wow! That is stunning! How many inches wide and long is it?

Five hours isn't that long. If you are having trouble following the lines on pantos, try quilting with a board. I rent time on a Millie and quilted the Baptist Fan pattern on a quilt using a pattern board. I think it looks great! You can do this, too, I just know you can!

Gorgeous quilting!

What a gorgeous quilt AND quilting! Love your flower meander.

Judy, you have a very nice set up and I love your pumpkin quilt. Karen

Yes, I am still looking at messages. :-) It is a concern because the longarmers here (except for one) only have a two week turn around. I don't need to make enough money to live on -- just enough to supplement the pension I will be receiving as I would like to wait a bit to draw social security. There are two rental places within driving distance, so I plan to visit both. My retirement is in four years and 7 months, but if I get a machine, would get one in about two years so I have enough time to practice.

Love it!

Both my children are grown and my oldest is married and out of the house. The youngest is almost through college. My daughter shares many of my interests so I am predicting she will eventually get sucked into the longarm world. How long have you had your George?

I really appreciate the responses. I now am hopeful. Will join a guild and see if there is some demand. Is it bad that I already know I want a Millie? :-)

I will be retiring in a few years and would love to have a long arm business to make some extra money. However, I have to wonder if it is still a good option due to all the cheaper frame systems sold to hobbyists. This would only be a part time business but I would need it to generate some profit. Thoughts?
