Hi! I'm relatively new to quilting- I've FMQ a baby+ sized quilt and make another easy strip quilt. I just bought a Bernina 530 and am debating about the best way to quilt. I've been seriously considering getting a straight stitch machine like the Brother PQ1500S for my quilting- these machines look like powerhouses and I wouldn't worry as much about damaging the machine while doing FMQ as I would with my new Bernina. (I noticed when FMQ my last quilt that it seemed hard on my Pfaff 2046). Or should I just spend the money on a BSR? Or is it not worth it to shell out more money, and just go for it on my Bernina?
Thanks!
Robin
