You don't have to do the entire quilt on the FW, just the HSTs. When my GD was using my 301, I did my HSTs on my 15 clone. The quilt didn't care and it worked because it's a straight stitch, too. I also like to use a second machine because I have a metal accessory on the 301 to help with the 1/4" seam and by using the 15, I don't have to move and replace it.
