May i add (having been fortunate enough to afford here in my later years), that if you have any space available... the money i spent on a Grace Frame that can assemble from 5ft to 10ft or more,, along with a high speed janome 6600, is lots of fun... i tried doing 2 quilts on my standard machine and almost having thrown it out the window.. (not a patient person LOL) i decided to check this package out.... for around 3,150.00 plus tax... i have a super set up!! Takes a couple of times to get used to it,,,and right now i only do loop de loop, and horizontal free motion... but i make quilted fabric for totes... and can quilt up my tops in no time... projects get finished... it's wonderful...i am thinking about buying the speed control now that i know i love it,, that's around 600.00...
I just wanted to share this info... i know some machines are very pricey... i have 6 other's i love.. a Desinger 1, that's only used for embroidery.. that cost me 4,000, back in 2000... and i've sewn with it twice!! Give me a basic for piecing...
anywhoooo,,, that's my suggestion... as a testament for quilting for fun....
