I have the very same machine and I love it. It was set up on a pro-flex frame, but I took it out and set in on the table again. I find the throat space too short to do any kind of patterns. I'm a Charisma wanna-be, and I envision myself making fabulous feathers just like she does, lol, but am really limited with the throat size.
Presently I am on the look out for a 12-14 inch machine. The Brother is a speedy machine, and I love it for piecing. I've done a few quilts with just meandering, but I dream of doing so much more!
