Look at Gammills.My dealer is Accomplish Quilting in Stevensvill Im..I can almost always get a good answer from them.But on the rare occasion they can't help I call Gammill direct.They return my call within 24 hours and are very,very good at answering any question I have.They W A N T you to be satisfied with their product.
Don't always shop price only.You get what you pay for.If you buy a Yugo,ya get a Yugo.It goes down the road but at what cost.Same with long arms.I have a friend who has an APQS.She has no customer support,has to take it to Missourie to be serviced,constant problems.No one to call.They delivered it by bringing it to the edge of her drive and dropping it there.I could go on and on.Any way,take time to try all of them.If it buggs ya at a show,It will drive you crazy at home.Long arming is too rewarding to be turned off by an inferior machine.
