I've been starting to think about getting a long arm. I think I want one where it's not a regular machine that's being put into a frame (like Bernina) but an actual quilting machine (like HQ 16). I saw one many moons ago in our Bernina store. They were authorized retailers for Bernina, BabyLock, and maybe one other. For the machine, you put the quilt in the frame (duh) and then it had a spot on the back where you lay down a stencil. You then attached the machine into the stencil and so the machine followed the stencil while moving the needle on the quilt. Kinda like if your right hand is tracing a design and your left hand is writing it down, going together.

I just have no idea what machine that was. The machines I've been looking at online (HQ, BabyLock) don't seem to have that stencil piece... or maybe it's an option that I just don't realize since I haven't played in person...

Any idea? Thank you :)
