I don't get it - I thought quilting was arts and crafts, to relax. An industrial level machine? Isn't that like buying an electric bicycle?

There are two parts to making a quilt. You piece together the top, with the pattern and all the different materials- this is the fun, relaxing, creative part. Then you sew together a sandwich of the top, a filler blanket, and the bottom. This is thousands of stitches and can be boring and takes a lot of time. There is a decent market for the service of taking your personally designed and sewn quilt top and doing the boring part on one of these machines. That’s how MrsWD plans to make the machine pay for itself. A simple stitching pattern on a king size quilt is $500.
