I see you have been posting a lot of questions about LA machines here. A LA is a big investment. Would you buy a car without test driving? That is my take on it. A LA set up can cost just as much as a new car. Some cost less but for any new set up you are looking at a minimum of $10K once it is all said and done. so my recommendation is to not just test drive but spend some serious time with one. Find someplace you can take a class, even if it means an over night trip. You need to experience loading the quilt sandwich on the frame and really working the machine. I have read far too many posts of people who were absolutely convinced they wanted one, until they spent a full day at the machine from loading the sandwich to standing several hours at a stretch long arming. Several decided it was not for them. Do not rush into this. JMHO.
