Full disclosure - I do NOT sell sewing machines, work for APQS or am in a way of an incentive to endorse the George. It works for me. I believe it is important to understand what you need and determine a realistic budget and make your own decision.Gwyned Trefethenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13041159153171283941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8230694326800494480.post-56821188700754257532013-08-18T04:20:53.568-07:002013-08-18T04:20:53.568-07:00Everything is just lovely as always!Everything is just lovely as always!Pat Merklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12827283810663831168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8230694326800494480.post-8578448323822136952013-08-17T22:29:58.153-07:002013-08-17T22:29:58.153-07:00Thanks for talking about George.

I can't fit a long arm in my house, but I'd love to have better visibility as I stitch along with having the quilt not quite wadded up as much as I stitch. I'll be checking back to see more!Amy @ Amy's FMQ Adventureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18249397590865683398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8230694326800494480.post-84064255546216786052013-08-17T13:01:21.513-07:002013-08-17T13:01:21.513-07:00The George is a mid arm machine sold APQS. In my o...The George is a mid arm machine sold APQS. In my opinion it is more versatile than long arm because you aren't forced to quilt in a channel. Also, if you learned FMQ on a domestic machine, then you don't need to relearn how to FMQ. A long arm requires you to move the machine to quilt. The George has you maneuvering the quilt while sitting down, just as you always have. Although it is a large investment it is half the price and takes up half the space of a long arm machine.Gwyned Trefethenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13041159153171283941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8230694326800494480.post-29138040299319068182013-08-17T12:52:31.792-07:002013-08-17T12:52:31.792-07:00Mary, I am honored.
