I'm still new here, I hope it's okay to ask for opinions on which Mid-Arm Quilting machines/set-ups you have, what you like/dislike about them, and what you'd recommend. I'd like to keep the cost at the lower end of the spectrum. Thanks! SheSews

A good place to go is a yahoo group homequiltingsystems.

I have a Bailey 15", a pcq and a Proflex frame...
Sadly I can not tell you what I think of it as I'm intimidated by it and have yet to use it all... I am planning to get my craft room cleaned up so I can make friends with it...
If I don't by the end of the year I'm going to sell it and go back to the old way of doing things lol.

don't be afraid set it up and love it

Ohhh.. it's set up... I just haven't found my backbone yet. I wish I knew someone who knew how to use it that could come over and hold my hand. I don't know what I'm afraid of... I just am :'(

I have a Handiquilter 16 and I love it.

I have a Voyager 17 SLR on a ProFlex frame. I have only played with it for a little bit but I love it so far. I previously had a 9" domestic sewing machine on a B-Line Studio frame with PC Quilter & Max throat which I also loved and I am keeping it around for a while in case I get into an argument with the new setup--LOL! I quilted many quilts on it both before & after I added the "goodies". I plan on locking myself in my room with my toys very soon.
