I realize larger quilts may not be able to be quilted on a reg sewing machine.. But maybe I am wrong!
I have used a regular machine to do my free motion quilting since I learned to quilt, some years ago. Thanks to my quilting instructer, she made me learn every aspect of quilting. May I suggest that since you are going to buy a new machine look for one with as large a throat as possible. That will make your quilting much easier. Let us know when you get your machine and will give you some tips to make the process easier.
