I have been garment sewing for many years. Deciided to start quilting last November. Bought a Brother CS-100 . Not expensive... about 279.00.It has handled nine king size quilts.. all of the stitching and machine quilting, five queen size and several over size baby quilts, as I have five grand kids and another in the oven. This machine has surprised me, especially with me being a novice to quilting! It has also handled every thing from from fleece to multiple layers of denim. I bought it because it came with many features and and the quilting foot. I figured if I HATED it ...That it wouldn't cost me an arm and a leg. Darn good machine! :-)
