We have a Baby Lock Regent sit down with stitch regulation built into the table. It was great fun on small sampler-type pieces. However my partner tends to do bedsize quilts more often, and handling the bulk on the sit-down has made her postpone finishing quilts (and even considering taking them to a quilter to finish). We are looking at converting or trading in for a stand up system where the machine moves instead of the quilt. If it is a space consideration for you, you can look at some of the 5 foot quilting systems. You still have to manage the bulk, but you do not have to move the entire bulk under a stationary machine.
