I have a Lund and love it...works just like a long arm... I use my Janome 7700 with an 11 inch throat, which does work better than my smaller machine....also use a Singer Quintet that has a deeper throat... I have found I am able to be more creative with my designs. My grandfather made my grand mother a quilting rack, took that and set the Lund up on it making my design area 8 feet across...would recommend it for anyone like myself that can't afford an expensive long arm.
