Sit down long arm quilting
I know that there have been many discussions here about longarm machines.
But this is new to me, and I'm wondering if any of you have tried this industrial machine.
It's got 18" of throat space, comes with a computer, and is under $3,000:

I'm super interested in any comments.
I had an industrial machine with a servo motor once, and sold it to make room for an HQ.
I know they are very heavy. But my HQ doesn't have the computer option...yet.

Its an industrial sewing machine actually. It reminds me of the industrial Jukis. I'm guessing it probably has feed dogs, but that would be easy to work with. The one hiccup I see is the table, (not sure if that is included.) When you are sitting by the needle to quilt, you will be almost sitting right where the table legs are. I think they could have installed the machine head into the table better... I'll be watching the comments here too, because I find this very interesting.
Don't forget, you can get a Bailey quilting machine for under $3,000 too.

This would fit nicely in the corner of my sewing space, but I like my HQ too much to swap. Even though it doesn't have a computer. (I know the HQ pro stitcher alone would cost more than this whole set up).

Looks like you have 18 inches long, but height wise only a couple of inches? Don't think i would like that. Also looks like you would have to be a skinny person to sit in front of the needle. lol I would have to have more cut out space just to be in front of the needle. sorry

I would consider the Juki DDL-9000C-SMS as well. It's arm is only 12", but it's taller too. Juki has a version of the 9000c machine, the J150-QVP, that has auto functions for quilting. However, I was speaking to a dealer who said he could set up the 9000C to do quilting.
