After a lot of trials and sewing, I bought a 20" Nolting Pro. I did not add robotics because I consider quilting an extension of my drawing with a pencil. It is able to have Intelliquilter installed. I love the Nolting because it is is US made, the support is fabulous, it is built like a tank, it is incredibly smooth, easy to maintain and sews amazingly. I did try just about every machine out there. Totally satisfied. My regular machines are vintage Singers and the Nolting stitch quality is equal to those fabulous straight stitch only Singers.
