Keep in mind that on a sit down quilting machine of any brand - you are moving the fabric to quilt the design. You must baste it together before you sit down to quilt it. Also a large quilt is very heavy and can be hard to maneuver as you quilt it. I had a sit down machine and decided quickly that I had chosen the wrong machine for what I wanted to do. I sold it and bought a longarm. I don't know about other brands, but Babylock now has one with a smaller frame. It might be worth your time to check it out to see if it would meet your needs.
