I bought a used George a couple of years ago, got a steal..I love it...had to learn all over again..i was doing the longarm quilting for my friend that had a fabric shop, and did quilts..she closed her shop and I needed something to do my quilts on..for longarming her customer's quilts, I got to do mine free...a win win situation..I'm getting better each time I use it..I drew several pantos for the quilt shop, so I have those I can trace on to the yellow paper and pin to the quilt and follow...works pretty well..I'm doing me a DWR right now, it will be a kingsize..but I have done a kingsize on the George with no problems...I have the clamps at the back to keep the drag down..bungee cords hanging from eye hooks in ceiling, and clamps on the end..works great...
