The guy in Florida is out of business. He kept $500 of mine and is in deep trouble with PayPal. He stiffed many other ladies as well.

I own a Singer 29-4 like this: https://www.google.com/search?q=sing...w=1333&bih=645

It would make an awesome long-arm except the bobbin only holds about 36" of thread. :(

The 29-4 is an interesting machine as it does not have lower feed dogs. The foot acts at the feed dog. Replace the foot with a hopping foot and I'd have an awesome long-arm - but - I'm still limited in the bobbin capacity.

Oh, forgot to say, my 29-4 can be either treadled or run with a motor. :)

I own a babylock quilters choice pro stretched 18" and it works wonderful. yes, WOW Quilts sells stretched machines and there is a long waiting list (18 months) to get one. i don't believe its well advertised and his business is mostly word of mouth as oppose to the long arm machines that you see at quilt shops/shows. if you like, PM your email address and i can send you pictures of my machine. happy quilting :-)

Stretched machine
 
I looked at this site and then I decided there are somethings you just have to pay for. Unfortunately I am not that talented but I do applaud the person who took the time to post complete instructions on how to stretch your own machine!
