I LOVE my Voyager 17/Hinterberg stretch frame setup. Voyagers are no longer being made, but you can still purchase refurbished ones from http://www.hinterberg.com . I don't know about shipping, but they advertise the Voyager/Hinty setup I have (but including SLR) for $4,000:

There is another place online where you can purchase a similar package, and they sometimes run 15% specials, free shipping, etc., so I believe you could get this setup for somewhat less that way, but you have to call:

(Ask about the "brand new". I don't think a Voyager can be "brand new".)

I purchased mine from another quilt guild member who laid out a "for sale" page on the entry table to a guild meeting. I bought mine (without SLR) for $3,000. Another QB member found one on the House of Hanson website and purchase the used setup (with SLR) several months ago for about $2,400. Here are two websites where you can keep a lookout for a Voyager/Hinty set:

You can also join the HinterbergQuilters group at groups.yahoo.com . Some of the owners advertise their setups for sale there when they want to upgrade.
