Try as many different longarms as you can. And play with them for as long as possible! I have an Innova that has free 24/7/365 tech service that can help you with any problem. Super well made and made in Texas. Fabulous frames too! Love mine that I've had for 6.5 years.

I know nothing at all but I was at the show also 😀 and looked at several machines. The salesman at that super nice looking, easy to use Bernina Q80 ( I think?) said that the stitch regulator on some of the machines is questionable. I would be sure to try out and ask a lot of questions. Did you have a good time at show? I did. So so SO many stunning quilts. Lots of venders and great people....

Nolting is a very reputable manufacturer with a long history. The don't advertise as much as some of the others, and they aren't painted as prettily as some

, but the folks I know like them. I used to live near the Nolting factory, and I got a tour. Definitely a small business that knew their work.

That's my personal favorite "dream" machine and I would probably purchase it even without a dealer nearby, as they have good telephone support and the machines are very self-maintainable. There are two Innova groups on Yahoo; some of the members there have owned other brands before switching to Innova so you can get that point of view too.

Thanks...good advice..
