A friend has a 6600 and the built in walking foot is great. She gets around the weight issue by setting up large folding tables behind and to the left of her work. I do the fancy stuff with my embroidery machine very time consuming setting up each section but well worth the finished product. As for binding finally have the technique of corners down.........Still struggling with 1. connecting the meeting ends and 2. hiding the handstitching .. mine always looks puckery on the hand stitched side of the binding

jazz , I sew to the last corner ,then place by binding to meet the begining,fold over about 1/2 "on each end crease both bits of binding, then stitch 1/8 " more , past the crease,does that make sence ;-)

and as for sewing binding back I sew the binding to the front of the quilt and hand sew on the back.I use those snap type hair clips to hold the binding flat ,I use about 6 clips and move them when I get close.I was always jabbing myself with pinsouch :roll:

I hope I was of some help
