I don't have a lot of spare time, so I wouldn't be quilting on it for long periods of time. I would be using it for smaller items, probably largest would be a baby quilt, if that. I do have a nice Singer 201 that was given to me, but I don't have space to keep it set up. I hope to someday...it does sew beautifully.
