Hi all,
So, I've been spending a lot of time on our search engine and thinking about what type of system I may need down the road to successfully machine quilt. I've come up with three systems to consider. Would love to hear your ideas about this and if I've missed some options, please let me know that, as well.

1. Domestic machine with a large/long throat: could free motion and use a walking foot, might end up with a lot of features I wouldn't use

2. sitdown machine such as the Sweet Sixteen: could only free motion, but has a nice space to sew on, and looks like it has nice lighting, priciest option for me - probably

3. Juki setup - could free motion and use a walking foot, could buy a model without a lot of extra features, might be the least expensive route to go, have read that they are reliable

Any thoughts? Any other options to consider?
Thanks,
lots2do
