I have a Tin Lizzie 18 that my DH talked me into. We got a good deal from a local dealer--about what we would have paid for a used one but at least it came with a warranty. He had used it in his shop and taken it to a few shows so it was slightly used. Good thing it had a warranty since the "board" had to be replaced. I'm still learning--bought several quilt tops of various sizes for $10 or less each at a garage sale so I have practice pieces. Looking for continuous line quilting pattern sources. Found some on line and have purchased a few. It's a whole new world for me. Like someone much earlier, arthritic hands don't allow much hand quilting any more.
