My Daughter has an older version of the Brother with the table extension and she has quilted queen - King sized quilts on it, had it close to 10 yr,s. We got her a Brother 1500s and she is really loving the large harp. Will make quilting those large quilts much easier. She is saving the first brother for a back up. I prefer the newer machines.
Her older Brother has never been in the shop, even for cleaning, sews like a dream.
