If you want to machine quilt free motion styley, make sure you get a 'Big Foot' and that you can drop the feed dogs. If you're doing lots of big quilts then a larger throat might be important but I get a queen size with cotton batting no prob through a standard throat. I don't have it, but they say being able to adjust the speed of the power from the pedal is a good thing too. Although KLue has a brace for her pedal to stop it going too fast - it's on hubby's list to make me one! :D
