For the Tiara vs Coronet, I would recommend trying to quilt something larger than a throw-sized piece on both. That might give you an idea of whether you prefer to "move the pen" or "move the pencil". When the dealer gave me a larger quilt to try, it didn't take me more than a couple of minutes to make up my mind. I much prefer moving the machine than the fabric! You do know these BabyLock machines are made by HandiQuilter?
