    Check the second hand market. Talk to quilt shops, sewing machine repair shops, people in your local quilt guild, and often times your local sewing machine dealers will have trade-ins. For Christmas, my DH bought me a second-hand midarm with frame for $400. It has a 9" harp and a shelf with laser stylus for pantos.

    Isn't wanting the same as "Gotta have it!!!"

    I say, go for it. Just try out a couple before you decide on one.

    NEVER buy before you try!!!!

    I am happy with my Grace Frame and Mid-Arm. It does a great job and much more economical. Good luck in your search.
