One thing about it, when you learn how to use it you can sell what you quilt or do work for other people & make some money. LAQ's make pretty good money at this. Something to think about. My Ds bought me a Babylock Elleago for my birthday & christmas. I traded my Ellure Plus in & got almost all I paid for it back. So remember the sales this time of year.

It's nice to think about making money with quilting on a frame, but remember the learning curve for these things is pretty steep. However, with practice and determination, you'll have a lot of fun and make some lovely quilts. You may want to check out some of the Yahoo groups that deal with the Jewel and frame quilting too. Lots of info there. And good for you saving up and not financing. I just bought a Pinnacle and have a Janome 1600p to drive on it. I love the setup. I will also be saving for a larger 18 inch machine, maybe the Jewel, maybe a Tin Lizzie...don't know yet:) Good things come to those who wait they say:)

It was nice though to touch and play with it-even if just for a moment in time lol

Oh, I would have taken him up on that offer before it was completely out of his mouth. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: I've played with the Jewel at a local shop and fell in love.
