Never seen this before, don't know anything about it. Theres not to much information on this website, but its reasonable I thought.

Looks like another person is getting into the 'stretch' machine business. Don't know the service reputation or if the customer service is any good. If I was in the market for a new Singer that has been stretched I'd go with Quilting Solutions. Their reputation and customer service is the best!

I have some concerns on this.
1) their website is very unprofessional
2) No mention of brand on the sewing machine
Most longarmers look for certain things that aren't mentioned here.
1) what's the highest stitches per inch does the machine do
2) speed control??? What does that "torque" stuff mean?
3) stitch regulator????
4) training???
That's just a few thoughts that ran through my mind.....

I say, good for these people to go ahead and do something on their own. Yes, it is a stretched Singer. What's wrong with that? This is how home quilting systems are born. Someone takes an idea and runs with it. It may not have
all the bells and whistles, but for that price, do you know how many quilts that you could get done it? My dear husband is a machinist by trade and he stretched a Singer for me. It works great! If he hadn't built it for me, I wouldn't have a mid arm machine.
I don't mean to sound like a hag, but this system looks like it would work out really well. For someone just starting out with a frame, this would be a dream. Why not give them a chance?! Is't that what this country is founded on?
Sorry if I sound like I'm on a soapbox.
Merry Christmas to all.
