I agree with Buckeye Rose. You didn't mention what type of batting you are using. I quilt on my Bernina 1530 and have always preferred a little puff that I get my using Hobbs 80/20 batting. I don't even want of think of trying to push thru two layers of batting in my older Bernina. I myself don't care for over-quilting because it can distract from your piecing which should be the star of any quilt. You can also looking in doing some trapunto quilting.
