Comments (5)I made two fabric postcards this past weekend as a special thank you to a friend. They are quick and fun to make. There are no hard and fast rules as long as you end up with the size required by the post office.

Comments (9)There is a big difference in prices when it comes to the portable HandiQuilter frame that sells for around $800 and the HandiQuilter 16 which requires its own frame because of the weight and length of the machine. That combo is now going for between $6000 (non-regulated) and $8000 (with stitch regulator) depending on the model you choose. I thought about that set up at one time until I saw the price and decided to upgrade from frame and run my Brother PQ1500 on the frame that I bought. I just couldn't justify the cost of the HQ set up unless I was going to start quilting for others to get back some of the money spent on it. If that is what you were thinking of doing, it is probably the least expensive long arm set-ups at this time....See MoreAny NYC Tristate area Quilters here?

Comments (10)Yes, I have rented a long arm before and had a nice experience. I took the class and then went and did a few tops a few years ago. The shop I used to do it has closed (and it was almost an hour's drive). Two other shops have it but they are also an hour's drive, and it just doesn't work in to my schedule these days. It was fun to learn and each shop has different types of long arms, one has programed designs, others you do yourself. I work odd hours, so it would be nice to be able to just quilt on my schedule. It seems the quilt shows have plenty of long arm classes and trying to sell a $5,000 - $10,000+ machine. But they really don't seem to tap into the home quilter who wants something more than just a machine with pinning the quilt. Or there will be systems like Handiquilter II that people buy and like and they stop making them, so maybe there's not much of a market!...See Moresjerin
