I had been quilting for there years when I first learned about LA,s. I purchased a super quilted, used it with my brother. I was not happy with the frame. The track was not long enough. I switched to a grace frame. Loved it. But I wanted to quilt for customers. So i got a Gammill. Yeah.... Best decision I ever made, I paid the machine off in the first two years. I was renting space in a quilt shop, when it closed I had a building built on my property. I am a sales rep. For Gammill. The most important thing when researching is support and training.... Don't get a machine that is just shipped to you... You will not be happy. You need someone to help you and with Gammill you get training and someone at the end of the phone when you are need help.
