You're going to love your machine. I got an Innova 26 late last winter. I had never used a longarm before, so it was a whole new world. Not without it's frustrations, but once you are comfortable with the machine, it's fun.

Hip Hip Horray!!! You will absolutley love it. I got my 26" Innova last September and my baby works like a dream come true. Mine is on a 14' frame but I just go lucky to a little more room. Do you read the posts on the Innova Yahoo site? They have some really great suggestions for cheap additions and a great site for help. I found out how to use velco and no pinning... yah!

Congrats!!! You'll love it.
I got mine (APQS) in Feb and just love longarming. One thing I was told is practice practice practice. I have started doing Project Warmth Quilts (which are charity quilts that are guild puts together) and that's what I practice with. It's wonderful!!!
Hope the waiting time flies by for you, have fun....

Long-arm? I think that's such a funny name!
Ok, so how do you go about figuring out which kind to get? I took my first lesson at the LQS last night on their long-arm. It's computerized but I don't think all long-arms are computerized, are they? I had so much fun I'm going back on Sunday to quilt a "real" top instead of a practice one! Although if I put a cute border and binding on my practice one it'd be a pretty nice throw!
