I have this machine in a previous model called Memory Craft 6600. The reason I bought it is for the large space for maneuvering a quilt when free-motion-quilting. I can easily do a king size on this machine without a problem. I like it for piecing, FMQ, and it is heavy and can handle lots of bulk. It also has an excellent x-large walking foot for stitch-in-the-ditch or wavy-line-quilting. It does an incredible job of SITD. The only negative is that the bobbin area lints up and has to be taken apart to clean every so often. By this I mean the whole bobbin case area has to be unscrewed and taken apart to get to the linty area. There are some facts for you to go on. Have a great day
