I learned to use my Mother's Gammill Quilting machine, then quilted on my Sister's Gammill. It is for sale, since my Sister passed away, but I don't have room for it or I would buy it! It does require a long space for the 12 ft. table. I really enjoyed using it, except when the thread broke for no apparent reason. I could only use it barefoot and have the right rhythm! It is great that you have it. Good luck!
