A girl's gotta dream ...
#1
I'm not in the market for a long-arm NOW, but it's definitely in the future. I'm hesitant to go try anything because I'm afraid I'll push up the timetable. (lol). What I'd like to know is the general price of a mid-range computerized long-arm, with stitch regulator and large enough for a queen. And are the rails purchased seperately? I know there's a huge range of prices, but can you guys give me an idea ???? A girl's gotta dream ----

Check out Nolting.com and look at their used machines, especially the fun quilter. Scroll down the page. The fun quilter is a mid arm, 17", machine. Mine sits on a hinterberg frame which can outfitted with however long a poles you need. His prices do not include tables unless stated. Have fun looking.

You can pick up a Tin Lizzie 18ls complete with SR and Lizzie stitch for about 12,000.sometimes less. That will handle king sized. Easy to put together and use. Operates from front or back has laser for pantographs, everything you could ever need.

if you are willing to get a mid=arm instead of a long arm, Handiquilter is great. I got mine about 3 years ago and love it. I have the HQ16 with stitch regulator. I did not get the prostitcher which is available also.

I'm in the same position you are - wishing, looking and planning ahead. Before you make a final decision, check out the Homesteader. I think the site is quiltingsolution.com
I've heard a lot of good things about that machine and the price is reasonable - for a longarm.
I have a friend with a Nolting and she's very happy with it.
