I am like HillCountryGal when I buy under pressure I am sorry. The machine will go on sale again or at another place. If you are a new quilter I would make a few more quilts and decide what would work best for me. I would like a longarm but I would only be happy with the best there is to buy so I figure I can have a lot of quilts quilted for what a longarm would cost. Maybe if you found a different longarmer you would be happier with her work. There are a few on this board that could give you that help.
