Think it over and check out all the available options, features, and accessories. I love my long arm but it was a big expense. Researching helped me a lot before I purchased one. There were many different ones I tried before I made the final decision. Everyone has different styles of quilting, etc. Hope this helps.

I am sure you are going to love it and turn out beautiful quilts.

I know exactly how you feel. I was very nervous about making the final decision to order my Gammill....even though I wanted it more than anything. I will tell you that I love, love, love it and have never, ever regretted the decision to buy it! Good Luck and Happy Quilting.

We have all had cold feet, when making the jump. I really douted my self when I up graded to the vision on my Gammill.
I haven't had time to pratce much but so far I think it will be great. Marilee |
I say for something that expensive, you need to be completely sure. I'm sure you'll love it, but its like buying a car its a big investment and you don't want to regret buying something you don't like.

went to gammil in west plains missouri decided i like hand quilting better but even tho its expensive lifes short try new things there is always someone who will buy it from you if you decide it;s not for you
|
I was the same way and when my DH was putting it together the thought crossed my mind (for only a brief moment) to send it back; but now that I have had it for 6 weeks.......
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII LLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVEEEEEE MMMYY AAAVVVEEEENNNNNNTTTTTEEEEE!!!!!! I smile even when I walk by it. You will too. |

But, still, it is a lot of money. I don't have any place close by that lets you rent a machine. And, I don't know anyone close to me that has one that I could practice on. I just have my one 10 minute experience at a quilt show on the Nolte. So, please. Somebody help me out here and tell me how much I'm going to love it!!!

When you decide to buy be sure there is a help line you can call for help. As an ex. I have an HQ (Handi Quilter) with a local dealer but they have a 800 number I can call with any question (and I have) and they help you out. That is a big selling point for me as I was new with noone around to get help from at the time.
