If its the laura ashley than it is the predecessor to my espire(QC-1000) in that it has more stitches than mine did. They are great piecers, never had the IDT but the brothers have always been great piecers so have never had a need for it, my walking foot served me well just more cumbersome to removed but I always left one on my cheapie machine if I needed to use it frequently. I have always been impressed with brother, even the cheap ones piece really well. thae harp is decent space to quilt. I have the one now that is bigger than the janomes, and was extremely impressed with the dual fit foot so had to trade in my espire for the new technology even though I loved her for several years
