Thanks everyone for your advice. I received delivery on Tuesday afternoon and by Tuesday evening had stained all the wood pieces and watched a dvd (Longarmed and Fabulous - hysterical opening, but good advice on custom quilting).
Wednesday after work, I started assembling and had it mostly assembled by 9:45 that evening. Thursday, I finished adding the leaders and unpacked the Voyager and started assembly on that. I quit at 8:30 last tonight when it was time to add the stitch regulator. Tonight, I have to attend our 16-year-old's last home basketball game and won't get home until around 9:30; so, I'll finish everything on Saturday. My husband is having second thoughts about such a large addition to our living room - but I just smile and say it'll be fine honey. I've got it set up with 6 foot poles and bought extra hardware and poles to make it 10 foot when needed. I also ordered some batting from JoAnns with a 50-percent coupon and got that yesterday. So, now I can practice all I want. I'm planning on doing lots of practicing before I do a real quilt. I've got two to finish whenever I get to that point. I'd been attempting to do feathers on my DSM and they were "okay" but not as good as I'm hoping they'll be with this setup. I've got some pics of the progress and need to get those downloaded to the computer and will upload soon.

Hi, you won', regret it. About 1 1/2 yr ago I moved 90% of my sewing room into the LR. We never used it because we use the den on the back of our home and our converted garage is my DH's ham radio room I'll try to get some pics for everyone. (My neighbor used to call it "this is just a big hall!)
