Thanks y'all. I feel encouraged now. :)

We bought a used Voyager 17 and Hinterberg frame for !500.00 a few years ago and had nothing but trouble with it. Even DH could not figure out our problem and he is pretty good at fixing things. So we traded it in for a Nolting Fun 17 and did not have to trade in the frame. The Nolting people bought out Voyager and have some used Voyagers. There was just a world of difference between the 2 machines. I would strongly suggest you buy one where you can get lessons and a lot of tech support.

I have sent you a pm but just noticed that you live in Ga. you have a Nolting dealer somewhere in your state. Why don't you Google "Nolting"and get his e-mail and contact him for pricing info. Too much information will never hurt you, too little might. My advise on T.L. is-------BEWARE.

I sell the Handiquilters, the machines made by tinlizzie and the Juki long arms. My favorite is the Handiquilter, but the Juki 2200 virtuoso is moving into a close second place. go to www.sewingmachinesplus.com to see them all
