Hi Calico Grammy,
I found this site awhile ago and I'm still hoping to find someone local to build this for me. If you have hubby/friend/son who's handy in the workshop, this looks like a great way to have a machining frame for a reasonable price. If you decide on the Viking hope you'll post how you like it.
Good luck!

I have a Mega Quilter and it is a real work horse. It Free Motion Quilts beautifully, just glides over the fabric.
I have it on the original Inspira frame and I'm not great at frame quilting. Stippling and Loopies are my best.
I would recommend the machine

I just purchased the Viking Megaquilter and an Imperial Frame. I am very new to quilting. I got the machine first and did some practicing before putting it on the frame. I did read about people having tension and thread breaking problems so I was afraid to get it. Let me tell you that it sews like a champ. No problems with thread or breaking. I put it on the frame and did free motion and it sews beautifully. No problems with tension or thread so far. I just love it! I bought mine at Joann too. It came with a free motion foot but not a walking foot. Good Luck!!!
