Thanks everyone for the info. I really should have taken it for a ride at the show. $4000 isn't that bad COMPARED to the new Nolting they had set up next to it. That was over $9000 ! I think I would like one because I don't like FMQ on my regular sewing machine. I'm not really looking to do other people's quilt's either, just my own. Right now I do hand quilting so needless to say I don't get very many done. I'm going to another quilt show on Feb. 25th so maybe they'll be there also. From what I've read so far, it seems like a pretty good system. Thanks again
