I purchased a used Voyager 17 with the wooden frame. I like the machine and frame lots - my only dislike is that it takes a "L" bobbin. I really wanted the Handi Quilter 16 or the new 18 - BUT this was much cheaper and I am learning a lot. The "L" bobbin is much smaller (it is the size of most sewing machines) and runs out of thread quickly.
Just something to think about . . . . :D
