I just went thru this. Years ago I had tried long arms and my favorite was the Prodigy. I now own an A-1 that I just happened to fall into. I tried different machines just last month at the International and I was blown away by some of the machines. First off, the Babylock Crown Jewel was amazing, I was impressed. Second the Handiquilter was nicer than I expected - I would have looked into them because the money difference between them and say Gammils and APQS is alot. A machine that is getting lots of attention is the Innova. They say 24 hour service and evidently some have taken them up on it. The price is right also. I agree with finding a show and try, try, try! What I like you may not.
Have fun and take your time. You'll know when it's right.
