I'm another one who started off with this machine (Mega Quilter/Original Inspira frame). It was the first & only frame machine that I'd ever seen - around the same time Kay got hers. It was good enough to get me hooked on machine quilting on a frame. Mine worked fine, but after you had rolled the quilt a few times, you were down to less than 3" quilting space. I sold it for $1,500 I think, or maybe it was a little less to somebody in my guild. I also went to her home, checked her set up and gave lessons to her & her 3 friends. She hasn't come back to me with any complaints. She didn't want to spend more money at the time on anything bigger & figured that she could always sell it at some point in the future. I did remove the feed dogs. There is so much more available today.
