I have a Hinterberg machine frame and the Viking Mega Quilter Machine. I have arthritis and have had thumb surgery on my right hand (I'm right handed!) so am unable to hand quilt. The main reason I went with this frame was the ease in taking it down and putting it back up. I have to set it up in the family room and when the kids & gkids visit I have to take it down. At first I just used my regular sewing machine but when the Mega Quilter came out I jumped at it. It has the stitch regulator and a larger harp. My total investment was less than $3,000. I would try out different frames and machines before buying - I looked for quite awhile at frames.
