You need to consider a few things including: how long can you stand? any physical limitations? pushing fabric thru the machine takes upper arm and shoulder strength. Budget? and of course the biggie: do you have ROOM for a frame? I cannot answer these for you, only you know what will work best for YOU. I ended up upgrading twice before ending up with a gently used Gammill. I am happy I used the other two set ups. I learned : I CAN machine quilt, I LOVE to machine quilt, what features I wanted and what size frame and machine. Test drive as many as you can!
