Well, we decided on the Q24 and love it. Have only done a couple of quilts so far, but no issues. Well, there is one, and possibly a Q24 user can offer a suggestion? Presently it does not seem possible to transfer an entire quilt project from Art and Stitch to Q-Matic and sew the rows incrementally. Q-Matic complains either there is not a pattern queued, or it extends out of the safe area. What I suspect is, since stitching must be applied prior transferring from Art & Stitch to Q-Matic, is the jump stitches are the cause of the issue. Both Bernina and Art & Stitch have been alerted, but no solution, or promise of a solution, have come forth. This said, both programs are amazing, if only they would only correctly talk to each other when it comes to a full quilt, thus enabling use of the Q-Matic Realign function. Not a happy prospect, to get to the end of a quilt and have insufficient or excessive space, especially the former.
