in defense... i have the pinnacle and enjoy it.... so much better than "sitting" for me... once you use it enough,, the "moving often" is easy enough...and i have researched... you can get a Bailey machine (mid arm) for under 2 grand...(only have the janome 1600P now, but it's a great machine) The Bailey is 18" and will fit my Grace Frame i'm told... i can afford to upgrade, but have kind of decided to be content with my "loop and horizontal stippling"..for a bit longer.. I have one room all my own,,, it's pretty crowded... LOL but i Love it..unless you simply must do panto's and want to make machine quilting your main hobby...it's more than sufficient....
