I may soon be a long arm owner, uh, short arm owner??? It says short arm, but it looks like in the pic that it would be mid arm. What do you think? I spoke to a wonderful lady through some emails, and she still has it and is willing to let me make payments. (it's so sad to be so broke) But I'm glad my angels are watching out for me and helped me find this listing and it's wonderful owner. I know it's kinda rough, no bells and whistles, no stitch regulator, but hey, it's a start. I think it will really help in my quilt making. Tell me what you think about my find.... Here's the link to my new machine/frame -

Just a note... i once owned this same machine. It was the worst purchase I had ever made. I bought it brand new and the machine never ever sewed correctly. The tension was always off. I sent it in to have it worked on and UPS dropped it and broke it.. I got a brand new machine. It still did not run correctly. make sure you test run it before you take it home. If I may ask how much is it anyways?

I dont know what kind of machine that is?? Says Kenquilt "like". the machine looks a little rough, but could just be the photo. I would definitely ask more questions first. How old is the machine, is it finickey on thread types...also you'll want to try it for sure. $1100.00 sounds high to me. Just do your homework first. I hope it works out for you.

It's a short arm, she's not misleading you. Sounds a bit high to me too, honestly, but if she's allowing you to make payments, it's more reasonable if you consider what the interest rate on a credit card would be.
