Good luck on your new adventure.
Thanks :) From what I've read, my Bernina would not be the best machine to do free-motion quilting on anyway. If I like doing it, I wouldn't be against buying another machine that would have better features such as a bigger throat plate.
berninas are wonderful machines for FMQ !! the knee lift is
especially helpful because you can leave the needle down, shift your knee to raise the foot, swivel if you need to.
I have a 1090, about 15 yrs old & it is great.
