I have a Futura 350 that I bought just for the purpose of machine quilting. It did a fine job on the top but the bobbin seemed to be a bit loose. Then I switched the bobbin thread for a quilting thread with poly blend in the needle. Same results until I washed and dried the quilt. The thread shrunk just enough to look very nice. I've done lap quilts with it but wouldn't go much larger as the quilt does but some weight on the quilting hoop area. I puddled the quilt instead of rolling it so it was looser around the hoop area. Also there's a bit of adjusting time involved in getting the the fabric positioned in the hoop just right. I didn't worry about stabilizer as there were 3 layers. It's fun for small projects.
