I am sorry if I was not clear in saying I was looking for. I am NOT considering a long arm quilting machine. There are many other machine and frames (smaller than long arms) available and I am trying to view and consider all options.
I have looked at Grace frames and Janome and Juki (quilting) machines:

The super quilter: http://www.superquilter.com/
and the Bailey (most recently suggested by a friend who is considering an upgrade) http://www.baileyssewingcenter.com/homequilter.html
If anyone has other options that would like to suggest, I am open. I have at least a month to make a decison.
