I personally am buying a Fun Quilter (mid arm) and Hinterberg stretch frame. I have "practiced" on this set up at numerous shows and decided I liked the way it handled and it didn't break my pocketbook!

I would do tons of research on the homequiltingsystems list at http://groups.yahoo.com before investing in a machine/frame combo. Those ladies tell it like it is for their setups!
Major constraints are usually price point and availability of training. If I purchased one of these systems, I would really like to be able to take a class in how to use it.

Go to MQResource.com. http://mqresource.com/forum/index.php?showforum=35
I hope this link works for you. In the Forums, check out "Quilting machine research". This is a longarm site and everyone has an opinion about their machines. Hope this helps.
