You will love that machine, if I were in the market for a new longarm I would seriously consider a Handi Quilter, the only thing that would stop me would be the shorter throat space..wish they would come out with the 26" throat. I think they handle the best of any machine I've ever test drove..very smooth..great stitches etc. Enjoy!! At my age, very close to 70 yrs old, I won't likely make a change but if I were younger....
