Wow, this thread came along just in time for me. I am in the market to purchase a new long arm. I have the HQ 16 and want a bigger throat space and robotics. I have been looking at the Innova but not the Gammill since it is so high in price. But my question would be on a 26" is it hard to pin your quilts on? I am only 5 ft and really have to stretch to get to the back bar to do my pinning.
