I have the BlockRockiT that the Grace company manufactures for Kathy Quilts. It was designed by the folks at Kathy Quilts and after it was released by them, the Grace company started selling it as the Q'Nique. I have had mine now for about 2 1/2 years and am very pleased with it. They have a built in stitch regulator, you can stitch in regulated or manual modes, use rear handles for pantographs or pattern boards, use it with Quilt Motion for computerized quilting. The throat is a little over 14 inches. For the price, I have been extremely pleased with mine. As long as you keep it oiled and the lint cleaned out, as with any machine like this, it works like a charm. If you have the opportunity to attend a large quilt show, they are usually there with the machines set up to try. I have never regretted mine. There is a Yahoo group for the BlockRockiT and it is great for information, help with any problem or advice. And it is classified as a mid-arm, not a long arm.
