I agree with both of these replys. It would be very hard to return it (if possible) if it doesn't work out for you.

Is it like cutting into that first piece of expensive fabric?? I'm sure you will love it and get over it.

You will love it promise,promise,promise. I did have a place
to go and test it out.But the best is to do it your self.that way you will longarm your way, not trying to do it like someone else. Just play and enjoy it.

We have at least 4 ladies that I know of in our area that has a longarm and they all seem to love it. One lady invested in it to run a business, and the other three just because they wanted one and that was that and they do use it and love it.

I have a Nolting & I love it. I have never had any problems with it. I was like you with doubts, but so glad I got my Nolting. I tried several different brands at a guilt show & decided on my Nolting because of the simplicity. You really don't need a lot of bells & whistles. And they are easy to maneuver. Not as heavy as some.
Hope this helps & enjoy your new machine.

I thought of getting one ,then my friend got hers,Now I'm glad I didn't , It was a bit much for me to handle once I took the class. I didn't realize the strain on neck shoulders and back.Yup I'm a sissy, But she too now also has a computer attached to hers so it does the work. She just does the programming.
Just another thought.

Reading more posts here, & now I see you haven't bought one yet. Kind of hard to try them out with none around to do so on. If it's any consolation, I had never machine quilted on a frame before I got mine. The biggest thing for me to get use to, & realize, was, on a frame, you move your machine, not your fabric. I had no trouble with mine, just getting the thread to work right, tension & so on. Did a practice quilt piece first, & that really helped too. I think, even if you don't have one to play on first, if you really want one, you will love it! Also, you may want a less costly one at first, think about that too. You can always upgrade later, should the need arise, & if you can afford that. My setup was not high end, but it's all I want & works for me. So keep looking, & thinking, before you buy. But, if you love to quilt, I'm sure you will love having a frame to quilt on. It makes all the difference in the world!...
