Need some advice for buying a Freedom or Lucy

[gin]

Hi everyone, I’m a fan quilter. I’ve had a Tin Lizzie for 18months and finished only 6 quilts. Then, I didn’t like it because I sold it.

I’m going to buy a demo Lucy on Bliss and paid deposit, but I’ve found really nice feature of the Quilt Glide and thinking buy a Freedom on Bliss but the price is jump up. On the quilt show, I’ve never tried the Freedom because it was over budget for me. So I really need a Freedom for a fun quilter? I don’t have enough money right now for get it so I have to wait until next year. Any help is greatly appreciated.

The glide is a really good feature if you are doing a lot of small (less than 1/2" background fill like pebbles). The rest of the time it goes unused. Unless you are into high end custom work or art quilting the Lucey would most likley be a better machine for your budget.

Go with what you can afford. Learn as much as you can and save for the Millie/Freedom later, you will be able to sell your machine right away, they go fast. I bought what I could afford and I am not unhappy. Just learning and practicing so when I get the space to get Millie, I will sell my smaller machine for a great price and have learned a lot in the mean time.
