Yah, supportive DH! Believe me, this was the first time DH offered any household money toward a machine.....
He's been in sewing machine shops prior to this, but I was shopping with my own money as I was still working (outside the home). This is probably different because we are now both retired and on limited incomes. He tells me that we made an investment. I am not going in to business, strictly a hobby.
By the way, the tune up on the FW was from my account :)

Yes, I have started the research!
I discovered PiecemealQuilts.com has a wealth of info, too.
My DD and DSIL had lots of patience yesterday when we Skyped them in Virginia. They saw how excited WE are about this set up.... All of my children and their spouses respect and love my husband. They know that we are a team on this adventure and DH is good to their mother.

There is a yahoo group for Viking MQ/Pfaff GQ (same machine) owners, and I love it. They are very helpful & have lots of suggestions. PfaffHobbyGrandQuilter is the group name, if you're on Yahoo! Groups, do a search & request to join.

I have had the Mega Quilter for almost 5 years. Even tho I have the frame, I don't use it. I do a lot of FMQ and I just love it. I use prewound bobins from Superior Thread, my machine love's em. I don't do large quilts so the set up I have is perfect for me.
