I got it to do my own quilts,...I love my Avante. I got it to do my own quilts, so I would have the freedom to do any size quilt, and have it be entirely mine, from start to finish. Not everyone enjoys the quilting part of quilt making, increasingly the quilting and the quilt top making are becoming separate. You have to enjoy the quilting, have to want to do the quilting, before making the investment in a machine like this. I have known ladies who bought a long arm quilter and then HATED the quilting, and didn't use it. It's a very expensive paperweight, lol. I did machine quilt my own tops with my domestic sewing machine, before getting the long arm; up to a full sized. Bigger than that, would not fit into my sewing machine's harp. But if you really want to quilt your own quilts, have that creative freedom and control from start to finish - go for it. My machine paid for itself wiithin 3 years, with the $ I saved not paying someone else to quilt my quilts; and with the tops I have done for others, only a few good friends. It is not a business, the hard part is saying no to people who ask; because you will be asked to quilt for others, if you have a long arm. I will always own a long arm now, just like I will always own a sewing machine; so long as I am living someplace where I can fit the machine in. I can't imagine not having one.
