We have at least 4 ladies that I know of in our area that has a longarm and they all seem to love it. One lady invested in it to run a business, and the other three just because they wanted one and that was that and they do use it and love it.

I have a Nolting & I love it. I have never had any problems with it. I was like you with doubts, but so glad I got my Nolting. I tried several different brands at a guilt show & decided on my Nolting because of the simplicity. You really don't need a lot of bells & whistles. And they are easy to maneuver. Not as heavy as some.
Hope this helps & enjoy your new machine.

If you have decided which one you want, go for it.
I am sure you deserve it, too!! :thumbup:

Just another thought.

Reading more posts here, & now I see you haven't bought one yet. Kind of hard to try them out with none around to do so on. If it's any consolation, I had never machine quilted on a frame before I got mine. The biggest thing for me to get use to, & realize, was, on a frame, you move your machine, not your fabric. I had no trouble with mine, just getting the thread to work right, tension & so on. Did a practice quilt piece first, & that really helped too. I think, even if you don't have one to play on first, if you really want one, you will love it! Also, you may want a less costly one at first, think about that too. You can always upgrade later, should the need arise, & if you can afford that. My setup was not high end, but it's all I want & works for me. So keep looking, & thinking, before you buy. But, if you love to quilt, I'm sure you will love having a frame to quilt on. It makes all the difference in the world!...
