Did you purchase a longarm yet? I have a Bernina Q24 and love it!!! I tested just so many except for the A1 and Prodigy. I couldn't find any in the central New York area to try out. My first pick was Bernina Q24 and then Gammill. I have not regretted my decision for a moment. I can't believe the stitch quality, the ease of operation and the support from the dealer. The machine just glides along. I have never even had a tension issue nor have I needed to adjust the tension. I have used different battings and still no tension issues. The Q24 is magical!
