I bought a 26" Tin Lizzie yesterday at the Mid-Atlantic quilt fest. I've never used a long arm before, other than testing them at shows. I was very pleased with the feel of the Tin Lizzie. I tested the gammil machines but the vibration was noticeable in the handles.
I put my husband into severe shock when I called to let him know I was buying a long arm. My plan all along was to buy a Flynn quilting frame, simply to help me learn how to do FM. So I went planning to buy a bicycle and came home with a Mercedes. LOL
