I have had a TL2010Q as a sit-down machine for two years. I love that machine. I had never done any FMQ before buying that machine. I was a bit apprehensive, but that machine is so user-friendly, that after a bit of practice, I was doing very nice FMQ, if I say so myself ... and I am a bit of a perfectionist! I have done quilts up to 80 inches wide so far. I have heard that some quilters have even done king-size quilts on this machine. I also do piecing on it. I have used several different threads on it, even 12 wt. I highly recommend this machine. Another plus: the pricing is very reasonable for the quality you get.
