Also, Tin Lizzie does not make a 1/4" foot for precise ruler work. There have been some ingenious people, who have adapted their feet to 1/4" though.

If you are not planning to use rulers in your quilting, none of this will be of any concern to you and the machine will be a good one for you.
I just went back to look at the specifications of the machine, and this was one of the paragraphs of what the machine offers:

Hopping Foot - Hopping foot holds down the fabric while the needle completes the stitch. The foot
height can be adjusted up and down for thickness of batting or material. The foot also allows for
stitching next to rulers and templates.
