I started out with Mega Quilter with 9 inch harp but wasn't satisfied with it on frame because of lack of space. It convinced me I love longarm quilting so we immediately went out and purchased an APQS Millenium with 14' frame. The Mega Quilter does sew beautifully and would be great for fmq and piecing. We have fallen in love with vintage machines and are trying to decide whether to keep or sell the Mega Quilter.
