I don't know about other machine prices, but I love my Gammill Premier. It's an 18" throat, and it will do all I want to do in my lifetime. I didn't get the stitch regulator as it costs more, and I did get the home pro table, 12 ft.

I have a gammill quilting machine on a 14' frame. My brother bought it used for me from Stitch-n-frame from Vicksburg MS. I live about 125 miles from Vicksburg. They came and set it up for me. I've owned "Flo" now for almost 3 years. I love her and we have loads of fun together. She cost $1250.00 delivered and set up. I do not like the pantograms. I stipple. This is a heavy metal non computer machine, just what I wanted.

The LAST thing you want to do is buy only based on price or hearsay - or a brand /model you've never touched before ... It's a BIG investment no matter what you spend - you need to be sure you're getting what you want in a machine :)

Hi:
Just to let you know I am on my second gammill longarm, and
I wouldn't have any other machine. My first I used for 14 years, and only miner problems. I just got my second one and it is a stitch regulated, optimum model. I got it used from a lady in GA, and it is like new. Hope this helps.
