Happy Gammill owner here. Love the needledown feature, horizontal and vertical channel locks, stitch regulation and fantastic customer support. In addition, the handle switches are easy to replace yourself and available at Radio Shack for only a couple of dollars. The frames are welded, very solid, which minimizes vibration. A real workhorse of a machine. But you really need to test drive many brands of machines before deciding. Besides Gammill, I would personally consider an A-1 or Handiquilter. No experience with Innova but know there are many satisfied owners. When I was looking, I didn't care for the APQS or TinLizzie. Just my humble opinion. You may feel differently. Have fun comparing machines, and keep that man!
