Several years ago, I bought a vintage Bernina 830 Record on eBay for the specific purpose of free-motion quilting (one of my quilting friends suggested it). I LOVE it! It doesn't have a long arm, but I've done queen sized quilts on it with no problem. It has several built-in stitches and came with extra feet and a knee lever that raises the foot for pivoting on corners. I paid about $400 for it.
