The George is a great machine. I have seen it in action and is just amazing. Is a long arm, but it sits on a very nice table. You have almost 22 inches of throat space so there is no pushing a quilt through the throat. It cost about $7995.00 plus shipping and extra %500.00 if you require professional setting up. I was looking at it just today at Pat Sloan's store. If I had the $ I would get one right now.
