I have had a Tin Lizzie on a frame and now have the Queen Quilter sit down model. I have to disagree with those you say that quilting on a long arm is much easier than maneuvering a quilt under the needle of a sit down model. If you already quilt on your home sewing machine it is basically the same with the sit down model. The only difference is you can't dial down the speed - you have to control it yourself. As for quilting on a frame there is a very steep learning curve. If you haven't done it before it is not as easy as it appears. Also, there are pros and cons to attaching a quilt to a frame also. If you don't get the quilt centered and on entirely straight you have problems. No so with a sit down model. I like my Tin Lizzie because of the way it sews, because it doesn't take up as much room as the one on a frame and it is also a good value. I hope you find this helpful.
