Welcome, from Michigan. How much money were you expecting to pay for a long arm? They can get a bit pricey, especially the computerized ones. They can range in price for a no frills used one from a few thousand up to over thrity thousand dollars for a new Gammill Statler Stitcher.

Welcome from Southern California. I don't have a long-arm, it is on the list for some day..... there are many long-armers here. They will have great suggestions. one of them that I have seen from them is try out several different kinds. Pick your price range and if you can go to a quilt show where they have different kinds and try them out. Find one that feels right for you.
