I didn’t realize those long arm machines were so expensive! Do all quilt shops have these services, or is more specialized?

Hello Laurie – A lot of the cost for equipment like a computerized quilting machine comes down to software and supply and demand. Programming a machine to handle the intricate quilting patterns takes a lot of software engineering time, and because the quilting machines are not a commodity product, and not a lot of them are sold, the companies manufacturing these systems don’t get big breaks on the cost of materials.

Dear Chuck,
I just have a short question. Why are computerized quilting machines so expensive?
