I have the same machine as Guy's wife and I love it for taking to classes. It stitches really well but does not have a large enough harp to quilt queen size quilts. I would seriously look at the Sapphire 870 as it is a beautiful machine for quilting with many embroidery stitches and a huge (10") harp for quilting. It also has the automatic thread cutter which is a feature quilters love.
