I support Bella. I did it for years on a little cheap Kenmore. My problem began when I tried to branch out into free motion quilting. Some machines will be a problem with tension issues and thread breaking. I also find that many (not all) cheaper machines can not handle well threads with lower thickness (higher weights). You get knots or the thread breaks. Good luck with yours. As I said, this is my experience only. I am sure there are some cheap machines that do well.
