OK, you are right Ritze! I LOVE these new Janome's, will definitely
start looking Janome over again. However, I should have qualified my
need of more space with a number too. I was dreaming more along the
lines of say 15"L X8-10"H harp space! Now that would be impressive!!!
WOuldn't it??? Or am I just being greedy? If I can dream it, they can
build it, right?
Course then I'd better dream that price down a bit too, huh?
I drive an old pickup. It'd really be saying something if my sewing
machine cost more than it!

Sounds like you need a 'short' long arm machine machine, like this:

Mind you, the Mega Quilter looks good:

Standard for an industrial is about 10 1/4 inch, they make long arms up to
and beyond 1 meter, but those get real expensive.

Ron, have you ever heard of a Wizard Precision sewing machine???
Someone anonymously dropped one off in my garage this morning (has to
be someone's bad joke!) Looks circa 1950's. Maybe the sewing machine
fairy misunderstood my wish??

This is a fairly good heavy duty machine. I have one that is robins
egg blue. Mine is one of the many many many Singer 15 clones produced
in the 50's and 60's in Japan. Great machine, I use it for drapes and
other heavy fabrics and if it has the right thread on it for putting
double soles on deer skin moccasins.
