I have two machines, both of which I use to quilt. My original machine is an old manual White with feed dogs that don't drop. I cover them with a business card and can do "some" fmq. I have done quilts as large as king on this one. My second machine is a computerized brother and this is the machine I now use most. It has a speed control and foot free motor, so quilting is quite easy on this machine. I just finished an 85x85 on this machine. It takes a lot of practice to fmq and I haven't mastered it by a long shot, but it gets easier and you get better as you go along....it can be done and nicely on your domestic sewing machine.
