This is my idea of a nightmare. My best friend bought a long arm 2 years ago. We have been practicing on our quilts ever since. We have done more than 40 between hers, mine and her brothers. We are just now starting to do quilts for pay from other people, because we were not satisfied with the quality of our work before. I would never be able to return a quilt in that condition at all, let alone expect to be paid for it.
