Long arm Machine

TrashQueen @TrashQueen (107) • United States 20 Mar 10

I'm curious if any of you have a Long Arm Machine to do the final quilting steps on your projects. ... I'd love one but don't have the space. If you don't have one, but actually do your own quilting, what method do you use?...
