new mid arm on the market -BlockRockIt...
 

There is a new, less expensive mid arm on the market now - the BlockRockIt by Kathy Quilts. It looks very nice. Does anyone know more about this?

It won't be ready for shipment until mid to late January, so it appears that the only information right now is on the website you linked to.

Very interesting - the price seems at this point to be great - would love to see reviews, guess we just have to be patient...

I am very interested in this. Would love to see reviews.

The 14 inch opening is really small for a machine on a frame. I would up for a sit down if they have that with that small an opening.

Grandmaof3 I love the quilt in your profile! I agree will wait to see the reviews. I couldn't get the prices list to load

14" doesn't seem worth the effort...but it does look interesting.

I would go for it as a sit down machine. It does seem like someone would come up with something between the 9" throat and the 16" throat. A jump of sometimes close to $4,000 in price (on average). I still say, I could get alot of quilts quilted for $5,000 by some else.

I bought a Nolte mid-arm for the same price. I love, love, love it. And they are a reputable company that has been around for a long time.

Is this the MAQ 14?

Thank you Caroloto. Made the quilt for our oldest daughter, who loves cats. The price for the rockit machine was around 2,800.00. Not bad at all.

no extra needles, no extra bobbins, a frame that will do a queen, shipping, the cost came more about 3,500 when I added those and put into my cart to see what it came to. Too much for an unknown brand. Order on line, no mention of warranty or support (classes).

It looks like an interesting machine.

Looks interesting.....

I pre-ordered the BlockRockit so I got it for $2600.00. I already have a Grace Queen frame so it will fit perfectly. It has all the features of a long arm machine and has a stitch regulator built into it if you choose to use it. It will be shipping at the end of this week. It was designed by Lynn Barlow and his wife so it has all the features of a long arm but with an affordable price. There is more info on it on their website: http://www.kathyquilts.com Lynn also told me that there will be online videos and classes available for the BlockRockit.
