When I started the first machine I bought was a Viking Mega Quilter. It does straight stitch only and quilts. It worked great for both piecing and quilting. I got tired of having to move it from stitching to quilting whenever I was working on a different project as I move back and forth between things. It also didn't have any decorative stitches I needed for machine applique. So,,, I bought another machine that had the decorative stitches and dedicated the Mega to just quilting. Of course since then I have been bitten by the vintage bug and have added 5 vintage machines to my collection, LOL. But I do use them all.
