I have quilted baby quilts with the 440 and the smaller bed. Just recently ordered the larger bed. Anxious to get that. Enjoy the process-I call my Bernina the Harley of machines. Cause DH has his Harley and now I have mine! ha
I have this machine, and I love it. Found the embroidery module on eBay, but had to update the software. I've used it to make a few items, and i used it to quilt a baby quilt once. Also use it for quilt labels and made my husband a few t-shirts. It's a very versatile machine for the money. I've quilted a 60 x 60 quilt with no problems, but I highly recommend the large extension table.
