Nilla, I understand your long arm feelings, I had a mid arm on a frame, it worked well, but I just could not stand loading the quilt for some strange reason, I just wanted to scream with every step of that & really got cranky to anyone around me.
So after letting it sit & take up space for 6 years, and quilting my old way, sitting down, doing FMQ, which I love and enjoy, I got rid of the frame, bought a Babylock sit down Tiara and love every minute I am using it.
Not every system is for everyone, you have to find your happy place.
