What is the best weapon long quilting machine to buy?
I am a Quilter hobby job may be in a business.
It There is no "right" answer to this question. There are many big machines and frames on the market, ranging in cost from several thousand dollars forty or fifty thousand. Depends what you want. You can buy a high end machine with an arm 36 ", a framework capable of managing a king size quilt, and a computer running the machine and the design point for you. At the other end of the spectrum, there are managers that are designed to maintain a household sewing machine (although I would not use one with a shorter arm of 9 "). Here are some resources for you: 1. There is a new edition of the magazine" stuck "with a section and a brachial list Longarm machines. 2. Join Yahoo groups called homequiltingsystems and Machine_Quilting_Professional. People in these groups can tell the experience of first-hand all set high. 3. Test drive as many machines as possible. Find a dealer near you (or loved ones who want to visit!). Go to fairs and exhibitions such as quilting International Quilt Festival Houston, Chicago or Los Angeles again.
