I have 2 industrial machines. A Singer 31-15 (I call her Granny) I love , I used it exclusively for at least 10 years. It has made every quilt I have made since I got it, from beginning to binding. I recently bought an Atlas Levy because I wanted a machine that had automatic thread cutter, for my small business. It is supposed to be made exactly like a Juki, by the same manufacturers, but who knows. I have not started a quilt with it yet but I have been playing with a couple of placemats. So far so good with that, I hope it turns out to be as great at quilting as my old singer was. So industrial machines are good for quilting, they just take some getting used to. I will not go back to a regular machine for quilting.
