I feel like an expectant mother and need some help.
I have a chance to purchase a used Tin Lizzie 18LS. I really need some info on this machine.
Does anyone have any opinions? Is it a good machine. Any problems I need to know about
to help make my decision to take the plunge??? The owner stated no problems - she is the original
owner and has had it for 2 years.
I have one and love it! Like all new things it takes some time to get used to. Practice practice practice!!! It is only as hard to use as you make it. Check out the net for classes on how to long arm. If you already know how your 2 steps ahead of where I was when I got mine. They are a very well made machine, the company is great to work with. Ask the seller if you can come over and try it for a while, will she work with you on it? Having a live person to walk you through the first couple of practice sessions would be great. I did mine over the phone long distance! LOL it was crazy but the machine is so simple to use I was able to learn anyway. I had some problems with the machine to start with but they were operator errors LOL. Good luck! If you get it, I'm sure you will enjoy time spent with your Lizzie.
