If you have the opportunity in your area, I suggest you rent time on the machine to make sure you will be happy with a longarm. (I was able to rent time on HQ 16, Gammill and Nolting). This is what I did for about a year +/-. I wanted a good longarm but did not plan to go into business. I figured I would pay for the machine by quilting my own and not sending it out to be quilted. Plus I was not thrilled about doing the quilting on my domestic. Most of the quilts I make are Queen sized.
The most important thing for me was to have service. I did not want to have to “fix by long distance phone calls”. I have been very happy with my Gammill. I still have local service. :-)
