take into consideration that you lose about 4 inches of sewing space i had a nine inch and i could only do 5 inches so i got 26 inch long arm now i can go any size i want not worry about hitting the bars in the mid of a design
don't get what you need now get what you can grow with i paid 9000.00 for mine at MO sewing machine co at the show its discounted at the shows

If you want to hear how the different machines sound, check out youtube.com and listen to how noisy some of the machines are. Some of the machines have a noise level that would make me crazy. Also, make sure you test-drive the machine you are looking at...buying a LA is like buying a car, you NEED to drive it before you know if it is a fit for you!

Hi I am selling My Babylock Jewel Long Arm Quilting Machine if you are interested? She comes with QuiltMotion, Grace Majestic frame, QuiltCAD, and tons of extras like leaders, needles, and more. I am selling all for $9,500.00! Great deal as I paid over $19,000.00 for all last year! I bought jewel and frame end of last year and the QuiltMotion is only 2 months old. Only 2 Quilts have been quilted with it so it's pretty much brand new. Even still under warrenty. If you are interested let me know. [email protected]
Happy Hunting :)
