I love my Babylock Crown Jewel Longarm! The frame is steel, Majestic frame. I have added Creative Touch for computerized! Love it! I have had it for about three years and have had no problems with it! Do attend a quilt show that has a large representation of Longarm quilting machines and try all of them, more than once! What feels right to you is probably what you should get. A local dealer is a great find too! Check with others about their customer service. Big difference if they will service your machine in your home or if you have lug it in!
