Thanks everyone for your reply... I still don't know if this is the machine for me, I did go and look at it again and there is NO warranty on it, The man that services the machines said that when it came in as a trade in he went over with a fine tooth comb, so it should be a great used machine. I just think that they should give you some kind of warranty..so maybe I will look into some other machine.... I did see what thimblebug was talking about with the size of the throat space..and how low it is.. just so undecided on which machine to buy, this is really hard .. LOL Thanks again, I'll keep looking but if anyone knows of a different brand that is good for FMQ please ket me know
