Brenda ,there are A1 dealers in most locations there is one in the Carolina one in Florida and they travel to your area.Pull up A1 and click on the map it will give you a phone number and adress to the ones nearest you and they will be able to give you information you need.Sometimes you need to get out of your comfort zone and take a ride to a quilt show to see all that the quilting world has available now.The A1 dealer will tell you where you can find someone with a long arm who might let you come over to play with the machine I know if anyone lived near me I would open my doors to them.Good luck keep in touch.
