Hi Upstairshobbyroom, I have owned my Gammill Classic for almost 14 years. After well over 1,500 quilts I am still in love with it. I quilt 5 days a week on it and have only taken in into Gammill's one time about a year after I purchased it for what I thought was a repair, but it was operators (mine) error. Please send me a private mail if I can be of any help to you.
