I started with a Mega Quilter on a frame like yours. If you're only going to do it as a hobby and can deal with doing just overall designs or small pantographs you'll be OK with this. I quickly became frustrated by the lack of space and the ability to do anything bigger including block designs. But it's hard to get a larger longarm for that price. You can get the above on ebay - just keep checking. If you want to spend a bit more check Craig's list and the different midarm-long arm companies websites - sometimes they have reconditioned ones as a fair price. Good luck.
