I have the Tin Lizzy 18 and I love it! I do ALL FMQ ( so far have not figured out how to do that pantogram etc) and not intricate stuff. I got my frame and machine because I went to the LQS and spent 1 solid hour trying to use my time! Had no idea what I was doing but ended up with a baby blanket that stands by itself! I got my hours worth! I decided I needed my own so I could go have coffee when I got tired! I love mine now that I am getting so I can comfortably use it! I am quilting for Quilt of Valor! I have done 8 (quilting only) and have 4 ready to quilt! I am not sure I could quilt sitting down!
