I have had my Tin lizzie 18LS for a year now, and I do not regret one minute of it. My DH gave up his office to accomodate the 10' frame. There is definitely a learning curve to long arm quilting, and I am still on that curve, but the ride is sure fun! I chose the Tin Lizzie because it gave me a high quality machine for an affordable (almost) cost. The TL company makes several machines sold under different names, so I thought I would be better to buy from the manufacturer. I do not have a computer attachment but the stitch regulator is great. Check out different setups before buying, then have a great time quilting. I am still amazed that I can finish a quilt in a few hours and have it look really good!
