Check out Craigslist.com in your area, and EBay for Long Arm Quilting
Machines. I often see ads, and they are very reasonable. Just make sure
it would be delivered, set up, and someone spends a few hours with you
to demonstrate the machine, show you how to do simple maintenance, etc.
It can be very intimidating to buy a machine, and even with an owner's
manual, try to learn on your own.
