There is no substitute for trying out machines yourself. I tried out a few at a state quilt guild show a few years ago; it really helps. The machine that stood out for me was the Innova. However, I knew I didn't want to spend that much money right now.

Because I had researched machines so thoroughly on the net, I knew that a used Voyager 17 with Hinterberg stretch frame would fit my budget. Although I had not tried one out, I had read many positive comments about it on the QB and on other quilting forums. So, when a used setup was advertised at our local quilt guild (the owner was upgrading), I bought it and have been very happy with it. I was saving up to buy the same setup from http://www.hinterberg.com but it was less expensive to purchase it locally when one came up for sale.

I still am not sure if I want to pay $20,000 for my "dream" longarm. Maybe some day. Meanwhile, I'm very happy with my much more modest investment. It is helping me complete lots of tops!

I have the voyager tooo.I do like it.. but I want to sale it and get a bigger machine.. I Have no idea what to sale it for??
