I have quilted a queen-size quilt on a Singer Red Eye, but admittedly it was a challenge. I have quilted smaller items on a Singer 15-91, and it did a great job. I got a mid-arm last year, and I prefer to quilt larger items on that. If you are about to get a new machine, try to get one with as large a throat as possible.
