I have a tin lizzy 18sl and have had it for 3 months still learning to play with it but I am sooooooooo happy to finally have a quilt machine. I checked around on several different brands/models and finally decided on this one because of the price and the service I received from the dealer in Albuquerque. the only recommendation I have is make sure you have room for the machine measure your room before purchasing the machine and go for it!!
