    I went to a show yesterday and saw the new Innova. I love it. My Millennium is 8 years old. Might be time for an upgrade!

    What doesn't your Millenium do that you'd need to upgrade?
    There are several issues with the Mille - I have really enjoyed it, but it is still hard to do detail work with it. Can't really follow an outline on the fabric very well, and limited on kinds of thread that will run on it. It just seems big and awkward compared to the Innova. But, it is 8 years old, and technology has made leaps and bounds since then! Even the new Mille is better.

    I'm very interested in test driving at a local show here in a few weeks! I test drove the smallest Gammil last week and it was sooooooo heavy. I can't imagine what the largest Gammil is like! I only weigh 125 lbs. so what ever longarm I choose will have to be easy to move and not feel like a tank.

    I have the Handi Quilter 18/Avante and it also can use any type of thread with no problems. I have used many. Less maintance then other long arms.
