I have to agree with what the majority of the ladies have posted, although I have NO KNOWLEDGE of a longarm. Something just doesn't smell right about this machine. For that amount of money, the machine should do everything except wash the dishes! LOL! I'm sorry, but I am very wary of the situation you have described. If I were you, I would want to know WHY she wants to sell it! Okay, with my lack of experience, I'll say no more because I wouldn't want to give bad advice I'm not qualified to give!
