I have a Brother HS2000 with 70+ stitches & I love it!! It sewed through the thick jeans seams to repair my husbands shorts & I've been sewing lap robes, etc., since June with no problems. Poor thing has really been worked hard! I'm not sure about putting a big quilt through it, but after Christmas may try that too. The hole seems a bit small. Not sure why they do that when they put "for quilting" in the review, but I love everything about it so far! I got it at AllBrands.com refurbished with a new serger for $438.00 no S&H & had them 2 days later!
