I have a frame like the Lund. I am still adjusting to it but so far have been real pleased. One issue I am still working through is the throat of my machine does not allow much FMQ room. I have measured all my machines and they measure 7 inches. My brother machine, which is my newest, has a curved throat so I can only get about inches of sewing at best. I recently put my older Singer with a square throat on and while I can get about 4 inches of area sewn with it, I am having some adjustment issues. IF I get the machine adjusted, it will not be removed from the frame. My last attempt it skipped some stitches and finally the needle broke, so I just walked away. I think maybe I didn't have the needle in quite right, the bobbin probably has lint that needs to be cleaned and I was going too fast (which is easy to do). I hope this weekend to go in with a fresh mind and start over. I cannot afford a long arm, and so far I have been happy with this frame. One thing to keep in mind is you will want to find a wooded table that you can lower the legs on, my standard table was too high to comfortably see over everything.
