I have the Viking mega quilter and it does a great job. Mine is a 9'in throat so I have alot of room to move with. I just ordered a walking foot; don't know why Viking doesn't include one since it's a quilter but it is what it is. I have also been interested in Janome; I have a Kenmore/Janome from Sears and it does a great job quilting except it doesn't like to go over bumps. I bought the Viking #1 because I couldn't afford the newer ones and I want to try machine embroidery; it's in the shop right now but getting excited about getting it out soon. Make sure what ever you get you get a walking foot; can't believe the difference it makes since I don't know how to free motion; YET
