I have used my Epic for the last two quilts that I finished earlier this year. I loved the way it turned out. Both quilts were large lap sized. My table is pretty big so the weight did not seem to bother the embroidery unit. I use clamps and pins to secure the area that I hooped. I embroidered some of the blocks and did FMQ to fill in. Am planning on trying all sorts of patterns on my next quilts! Love it! I quilted through the entire sandwich. The embroidery that I did was just one color. I don't think it would look too good if using many colors. The back would look messy.
