Ok, here's my crazy idea. Could someone stretch their own machine.. if they had half of a clue of what they were doing? I know they stretch motorcycles for a few hundred bucks... wouldn't stretching a little sewing machine be easier?! I have an old Singer 206 that I'd be willing to let someone experiment on... if someone could add 5-6 inches to it... I think I'd be happy!

AshleyR, there is a fella that stretches machines. It is the WOW and if I remember correctly his name is Rick. Also, there is a waiting list and the last time I saw a post about it they were waiting about 6 months...

Also, Billy on this forum (vintage machines) Lostn51 is his forum name has instructions to stretch machines. My DH wants to try one and he has a machine waiting for him to get busy....

Do you happen to know where that post is? I searched for it and can't find it.

Wow the new Innova machine is beautiful, but not cheap. $5995 and with stitch regulation $6995.

It's less than the George.

I couldn't find that one. The cheapest machine I saw is 18" for $9k

Weird, it's not easy to find any more. Here's a video on it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBxT49mFsTQ

I have a Janome Horizon 7700 with an 11 inch throat. I love it! Works really well for FMQ and it also fits perfectly on my Grace frame for larger projects. I got it for Christmas and my husband paid $2500 for it, but I think they've gone up now to $3,000.

And that is NOT a sitdown machine. That 9K includes the frame.
