Have you done any research on this kind of setup? I would save my money and wait for something better. Aside from having to purchase a machine, most quilters soon find this type of setup very limiting because there is so little space to quilt once the machine is rolled under the harp. In my opinion, the "professional" carriage is misleading because no professional longarmer would use this kind of frame and setup. It's too limiting. My advice would be to do a lot of research on used midarm setups (the QB is a good place to start) before deciding to buy, so you know exactly the limitations of what you are purchasing. I would save my money and look for a good midarm setup (complete with machine). Some people on the board have purchased the setup I have (Voyager 17 with Hinterberg frame) for $2,000 or so. This is a setup that someone can be happy with for many years.
