This is the machine I used for freemtion before and after on a frame. Yes, the feed dogs drop and can make circles and feathers, they still only require a stright stitch.

Never had an interest in these machines myself, just ran into them and the Juki and Bernina when looking for a frame and machine. These were popular for the 'home' quilter a few years ago.
