Hi, I have been trying to decide which long arm quilting machine to buy and one of the links brought me to this website. There looks like there is a lot of information here from other quilters.

Everyone will have a differerent answer for you. If you have a local shop that you can test drive some that is the way I would go. Sometimes the local shop will give you a training course with the machine you buy. Plus if something is wrong with it they will be able to help you first. It also depends on how much you can spend. Hope this helps

Welcome from the California desert. Educate yourself about the different longarm machines and their features, prices, & frames. Try each brand that seems to fit your needs. Everyone likes a different "feel" and features. Know a lot before you buy, this is a big purchase. I love my Tin Lizzie, lots of bang for my buck!
