I sure wanted one. I purchased the Nolting MAQ (mid arm) for $3200.00, had to buy separate bobbin winder ($200) ruler base ($75). It does not have a stitch regulator either. I now have a renewed respect for those longarmers! I am not a natural and it takes a lot of work and frustration for me to get going! Don't think I will ever be able to make money with it, but that's not why I bought it. So lots of practice!
