Yeah mine I can't really do free motion quilting and I really want to start trying that, even for the practical reasons - I just made a 12" dresden block quilt and I'm at a loss how to quilt them as SITD wont work in the flowers. I also have wanted to do some applique pieces and can't as there are hardly any stitches on my machine. And with 5.5" throat space it's challenging to do bigger quilts.
