I have a Bernina Aurora 440 Quilters Edition which I love. It has the Bernina Stitch regulator which makes free motion quiliting effortlessly and precise. I can easily machine quilt king size (120" x 120") quilts. It also has hundreds of fancy stitches too. I also bought the optional embroidery module, and full function embroidery capabilities with my personal laptop.

i have the Pfaff Hobby 1200. Seems to me it costs about $1300. it is supposed to have the fastest needle on the home sewing market. i can vouch that it goes pretty fast. it's great for piecing cuz it has this edge that you can set at 1/4 in. on up and the fabric really stays on that edge for an even seam. i said all this before but i just love it. with all the mid priced machines tho you have a very small space to manuver in even when the quilt is on a quilt frame. That limits your pattern. it's great for meandering and stippling and smaller designs. does anybody know anything about the stitch controler by Pfaff???? it's supposed to control the stitches by matching your speed. i wonder if you like it and think it's worth it??

;-) Any Machine with a good straight stitch can be quilted on ,Cover your feed dogs with a card or plastic template cut a hole for the needle or drop your feed dogs, put on your darning or quilting foot some quilt without a foot, I like the spring darning foot on my regular machines,and on my Longarm it has a big Industrial Foot like the one that goes on the regular sewing machines. Relax ,Enjoy!!!

I started off with a Simplicity sewing machine back in '92 (around $200). I sewed clothing home decor, etc. Got into quilting, bought the walking foot and big foot. The throat was only like 5". I, indeed, quilted with it. To do this though I ended up using low loft poly or warm and natural. Something that when I rolled up the sides ended up being more managable. Didn't to real fancy, but was able to do more than SITD. Just takes longer. Just go slow.
Now I have a Janome 6600 and love it.
