[QUOTE=kiffie2413;5246775]I have a Brother PQ-1500 that I actually purchased to use for fmq only..But I notice I use it a lot for piecing, and regular sewing, too It has a pin-feed system that makes piecing a breeze! It is all metal, and does straight stitch only...has knee-lift, auto thread cut, and a 9" harp. "
This is what I have too. LOVE IT! great FMQ and fore peicing. I paid $600 for it from Amazon with no shipping or taxes. Do a "test Sew" on several machines and see which one you like best. I also have a Singer Quilter that is alright for peicing but not for FMQ due to smaller stroat and no presser foot tension adjustment. However I like it for attaching binding with fancy stitch.
