What long arm machine do you own? Did you purchase it new or previously owned? How difficult is it to load a quilt into your frame? How long did it take you to feel comfortable quilting an actual quilt? Does your machine have a stitch regulator? If so, do you use the stitch regulator? Have you invested in software so that your machine automatically quilts by itself? Were you pleased with the training you received or did you receive any training?

I am interested in purchasing a long arm machine. I am considering something similar to a Block Rockit. I understand that the quilting area is smaller but am thinking for me it would be fine. I am not considering doing quilting for anyone except myself.

I would really appreciate your advice and thoughts. If anyone would care to share prices, that would be great but I understand if that is too personal.
