I have a Voyager I bought new in March, 2010. After practicing on it and figuring out the tension (every longarm will have the same learning curve on tension), I started taking in quilts for others in August. I've done several and currently have 1 on the frame with 4 backed up to do. After I get this paid down a bit, I'm moving up to a bigger machine. If I were doing only my own quilts, this would be all I'd ever want. And the price is a steal.
