I am considering several long arm quilters. Please let me know what you think of the ones you have used or owned. I am looking specifically at the TinLizzie or the Voyager. Thank you for sharing with me.

I have a Lizzie and love it. Lizzie comes with lots of bells & whistles for the price and mine has always been reliable.

Sorry, can't help with your choices, I have the HandiQuilter 16 and LOVE it. Great stitches and tension.

I considered both the Lizzie and the Voyager for a long time, but the HQ Avante won my heart, but then again, I got a decent deal on a second hand machine.

I have the Voyager with the Hinterberg Stretch frame and SLR. I really like it and haven't had any problems with it. It is a very heavy machine (70 lbs), but it moves easily. If you have any questions about it, feel free to PM me!

I agree! I have the Fusion and love it!

I have the Tin Lizzie DLS18. Lots of bang for your buck, and now that I have really got to know her, I love her.

Don't know how far you are from a Gammil dealer but try one out. I love mine with computer. I emphasize-get the computer! The driver motors will save your shoulders and back.

I have TL Queen Quilter with QBot. I am grateful to have the set up, but I have to say Lizzie can be temperamental. I am learning to get along with her more & more. The one thing I really wish I had though is a machine that would stop stitching when I stop moving it. Lizzie slows down to a slow continous stitch. Also, I would like better maintenance manuals. Can't really take these machines in for repair or maintenance, so you will be doing lots of that on your own. Good luck with your search.
