I have a Nolting 18" Fun Machine on a steel frame. It can be adjusted to use either standing or sitting. I love it and do quilts for myself and my business. The Nolting company has used machines that are not as expensive as the new ones.
They are easy to use. If at all possible I would suggest trying out one before you invest. If you have one in mind call the manufacturer and see if someone in your area has one and if that person would be willing to show you how it works and let you try it out.
I do that with the Notling I have.
Also if you can make it to any show. Not knowing where you are in Georgia, but we are having a small quilt show and the Nolting rep will be there for people to test drive the machine and talk with folks. It will be in Gray, TN at the end of April.
