I purchased a Gammill used that was local to me. I asked alot of questions and I test drove it. The reason the lady was selling it was that it was too big for her. It fits me to a T! I have a Gammill Classic Plus (the plus is the stitch regulator). She and I didn't get along too well at first...(read: there IS a learning curve...esp if you have not used a track mounted machine before) I found the GammillOwners group on Yahoo invalueable (hey! they SPEAK Gammill! lol) We have since become friends and Lucy (think 'righty tighty, lefty loosey'!) and I quilt many a day happily. I would go see the machine, ask to test drive it...and ask as many questions as you can! You will be pretty sure when you are done if its right for you.
