Gammill Charm or Innova Sit down
Hello Ladies. I've been a member of this board for quite some time, but have never posted before. I have been researching sit down mid arm machines for quite some time. I have narrowed it down to the Gammill Charm or the Innova sit down. I thought I had decided on the Innova 18 inch, because the price is more attainable, until my friend offered to sell me her 22 inch Charm for the same amount I would pay for the Innova. She purchased the Charm about 18 months ago and has used it once for a table runner. She is moving across country next month and as joke, I asked if she wanted to sell it. Imagine my surprise when she offered to sell it to me for $2000 less than what she paid for it.
I was with her when she purchased it and while I love to FMQ, she prefers the precision of the Statler computerized. I think she got excited about the idea of the Charm and purchased this demo model on a whim.
My biggest concern is the warranty, service and support on purchasing a machine from a private party. I know both companies have great products. Any information you can give me would be most appreciated.
