This machine has an absolutely huge embroidery hoop as I understand it. I think I saw a woman actually quilting her quilt with this machine and a big hoop at a quilt store in Maryland. I believe she was using a computer programmed design. Are any of you aware of whether or not you can do quilting (as opposed to embroidery) with this machine and hoop? And can someone give me an idea as to what these machines cost? I know they are several thousand dollars, but I really, really think I want one!!!!! If it will do quilting, even if it is block by block in the hoop, that will give me another 'argument' in favor of getting one!!
