Keep in mind that the APQS does NOT have a stitch regulator. At least it didn't last summer when I looked at it. For that reason, I would not buy the APQS George--even though I have an APQS longarm. The Handi Quilter Sweet sixteen sitdown is a nice machine. It is what I was going to buy before my husband said that I could buy a long arm instead. Ansd everyone says the HQ products are very good. don't see any reason to buy the Gamil that costs over $3000 more--but maybe it has more bells and whistles. Good luck.
