You are going to become Adicted to your longarm. Be sure you have your local Carryout on speeddial!!!! You will really injoy it. I just purchased my New Nolting,Pro in December. And I love it. A Hint, when it is your time to purchase, Go purchase at a Quilt Show. You will get specials that you won't get if you just go and purchase from a dealer. So, If you have desided on the Machine brand, Go to their website and find where they will be at their next quilt Show. Even if you have to drive-a-ways, it will pay off in the end. Put on those muslin samples, and practice, practice, practice. and have FUN, FUN, Fun!!!
