I recently bought one and love it. I've been free motion quilting on my Janome 6600P for several years and just got tired of wrestling those larger quilts under a smaller space. I would recommend you take some time practicing fmq and decide if this is something you like before making your purchase, and definitely test driving one. There are great deals out there, especially if you find a gently used or floor model. It is a wonderful machine, especially if you don't have the space or budget for a long arm.
