I went to Paducah during there show and tried every longarm they had. I couldn't afford the highest priced ones and wanted something that had regulated stitch. I picked up all the brochures and went home and studied the ones that were in the middle price range. I couldn't decide between the Nolting and the Ken Quilt - so I went to both booths and asked them to tell me why I should purchase there machine. Well Stu at Ken Quilt convinced me. I purchased one and he flew in from Kansas - to Orlando - to set it up and check it out. I have called him with a "few bugs" that come up now and then and I have been very happy with my machine. 4js
