One of the quilt shops near me carries them. I would love the Gammel set up but know I can't afford one of them.
I purchased a Tin Lizzie 18LS in March and I love it! Prior to that I had a Pfaff grand quilter on inspira frame. The largest design I dared do was 4.5" or I wouldn't have enough space as I got to the end of the quilt. I love Lizzie. I have quilted 6 quilts since I got her ... from crib size to queen size. I don't quilt for others - just myself. I want to enjoy what I'm doing, and if I were doing it for others I think I would stress too much. :)
