I am 30 miles north of Nashville, TN. There are absolutely no dealers near me. I found HQ Sixteen in Lebanon. The Pennywinkle is made in Waverly, TN, but they have no display or dealer in TN. Honestly did not know longarm dealers had shows, thought they were only shown at quilts shows. Nearest show would most likely be in Missouri or Indiana.

So glad I read your reply. I made a mistake, I am looking at the Homesteader 19. I said 16, but was incorrect. Thanks for your response, I am seriously considering this machine.

There is a large quilt show in Nashville every summer. I haven't been able to find the information on it yet. There is also one in Knoxville, (3 hour drive, I know) but here is the link if you are interested. http://www.americanquilter.com/shows.../general_info/
