I'm curious to see the pictures. I've not heard of an EZ-Q quilter. I have heard of an Easy Quilter
http://www.easyquilter.com/ and the Quilt Easy
http://www.shirleyssewingstuff.com/q...uilt_easy.html
And I just learned about a Susie Q Quilter
http://www.suzyqquilter.com/
I bought my first system brand new (B-Line Studio frame and an Elna 7200 sewing machine). I used it for 5 years before stumbling across a used Voyager 17SLR on a Pro-Flex frame that was too good to pass up. So, yes, I will buy a used quilting machine but I need more details before I plunk down $1,000.
