I recently attended AQS Grand Rapids. The Jean Lyle booth was there and the lady had a FW set up. She was quilting on it...with a quilting foot and no covered feed dogs. I do long arm, but the draw of being able to take my FW with me when I travel AND quilt on it...that quilting foot came home with me! There was no pull on the fabric. I sat for quite a while and quilted on it.
