I have IQ and I think it is really easy to use.

I was ready to purchase a Gammil even though I had never touched a longarm. I drove 90 miles to a shop that had 3 machines (one with Statler). I was going to go all out and purchase with the Statler at the beginning so that I would not have to add it later if I decided that was the way that I was going to go. Got to the shop, 2 ladies working in the store, and neither would turn the machine on. All three were loaded with practice material ready to go. I asked if I could try them and was told that I needed to sign up for a 3 hour class and try them in class. WHAT! Did they not realize that for around $30,000 I wanted to try the machine NOW. Needless to say, I walked out and never considered the Gammil again. I thought if they worked there and were afraid to turn on the machines, I did not need one. I later went to a Road Show and tried one, put a down payment on a milli, and then wondered what in the world am I doing. I agree that it is a lot of money for a hobby (for me because I don't have a business). A few months later I added IQ and I am happy. I can run any thread I want (cheap to expensive) with no problems, have never had to time mine (hope I never have to) and love it. Get the fabric advance because as others have said, it is a real plus.
