I could just picture you with a tiara on your head while quilting!!! 😂<br /><br />I am jealous you get to play with this machine! I dream of having a sit down long arm! 16" throat sounds divine!!

Her husband actually gifted it to her when she was a newbie quilter, so she had to learn to use it! Karen invited me over and I even got to try it for myself. I liked it! That long throat space is great, isn't it? Curious... did you use it without the stitch regulator? I think I would, if I owned it. How did you like the larger table space for your hands? Nice, huh? I'm just a little bit jealous of you getting to use one for a while. I think that would be the best way to try out a sit-down quilting machine. With no obligation to buy.

It's still in the box lol, I must admit that I am afraid of it. But I'm finally ready to get it put together "5' frame. But now it seems like something always comes up every weekend so we don't have time to get on it. Maybe it's a sign lol.<br />JeriJerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06190034604841294826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-77381313099688212092018-01-24T13:59:17.556-06:002018-01-24T13:59:17.556-06:00I have a Tiara also and just did and almost king s...I have a Tiara also and just did and almost king sized quilt before Christmas. Although it was pretty big, it was indeed manageable. It's always a nice sense of accomplishment when I can get one done start to finish myself. Enjoy that machine. Has it found a new home?

Working more ergonomically correct makes a HUGE difference; I'm curious if you will choose to try to modify how your domestic sewing machine sits and works as a result or just be interested in upgrading more permanently. :)Yvonne from Quilting Jetgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705160384198590025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-3473049016512124682018-01-23T19:32:19.412-06:002018-01-23T19:32:19.412-06:00I have a Tiara and love it.

It has almost eliminated tension frustration for me. The biggest issue i have now is remembering to write down the thread combinations and the bobbin tension that works.stitchinpennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06341867288910993051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-68630473114198875682018-01-23T17:54:01.758-06:002018-01-23T17:54:01.758-06:00I saw the title of your post and just had to come ...I saw the title of your post and just had to come over to see the photo of you sewing with a tiara on your head - ha !
