I was just at a quilt show last weekend. One of the vendors had a home long arm (I can't recall the name, but it started with a V), and she said she selected that one because she went to Road to CA and a lot of the home long arm machine reps had a hard time keeping their machines running smoothly, but this one, the guy had 9 machines in 1 room and they were all running smoothly the whole class. So....I just wish I could remember the name. I googled to try to find it, but no luck. Just wanted to tell you....go try a lot of them before you decide on one. Go to a big show where they have lots of them. It's worth the trouble to do that.
