Today I had an opportunity to play with every machine under the sun. I would like to one day own a long arm, and I also know that is a matter of personal preference and getting used to it, but I really like to sit down to quilt. I enjoyed a lot the HQ and the Thin Lizzy, both sit down models. I have never had a chance to test the George. I find long arms wonky, but if I move the quilt is a lot better for me.
