I'm a small person and the ergonomic handles made it such a breeze to operate. My husband was so impressed with the frame - and you can lower it and raise it with a touch of a button.
So glad we went and tried them all. Everyone here was so helpful in giving me such good pointers in what to look for and what to ask. It really is a personal preference.
i was there also we bought a tin Lizzie 26 arm (Ashely) is what it's called the quilts on display were soooooo humbling
we also really enjoyed the show my 8 yr old went to a booth for Ronald MC Donald house and we left her with them for 1 hr so she could quilt with the lady . the lady is a teacher in branson and she taught my DD to quilt. free motion she love it.
