Thanks for that info Dunster, I bought the SS but had no previous experience with FMQ(dumb) on my DSM- It is so jerky compared to the Funquilter being so smooth moving it around. I do have room for a larger frame but probably won't be doing anything bigger than a queen size! I believe the Funquilter is a 17' throat and hasn't been used much! no business for me, just for family &friends. Still undecided on what to do! My SS is SO troube free & it would cost much less to upgrade it .Help!
