Looks like an industrial sewing machine much like the brother I have now. I was tempted to quilt my quilts on it but when my sis and I checked it out, it sews so fast I can hardly keep up. I am selling mine because I never use it. I bought one of Ken Lund's set ups he advertised on facebook to try to quilt my quilts with. I think if you can figure out how to slow it down, you might be able to sew on it but not freehand. Also, straight stitch only.
