I bought a Babylock Crown Jewel (my first LA) just last week with a Pearl frame and so far, I love it. I agree with everthing An Arm Long said about dealers and I also got the interest free loan. At $216 a month, that's less than what I was paying to have someone else quilt it for me. I'm learning pretty quickly and will have my first 50x50 inch quilt finished in a few days. (mostly SID but I did do a curvy design in the boarder using Press and Seal method to mark the pattern).
