I did some machine quilting on my new machine today-first time. Only straight line and only a small quilt but I could definitely tell. I didn't even stress about getting the thing through the opening where normally, that is my #1 issue. I had the whole first line of quilting done before I realized it-normally I'm about 1/2 or 1/3 of the way and start doing the fluff and stuff. This time minimal fluffing and almost no stuffing!
