Looks great. I FMQ on my Juki TL98QE with a sew steady plexiglass table and I have quilted so many quilts crib size to almost king. I don't struggle with the quilt and don't really need any bigger machine. Just what you decide to do.

I have to look into this one. Haven't been out much in the last two months so will go to my Baby Lock dealer to see it. I missed two local quilt shows and that hurt. I have two Baby Locks but not this one.

Or the same basic machine with some additions .... or without some things?
Often times when machines (not just sewing machines) are re-labelled some of the quality and standards are changed.

Patsy Thompson in her Youtube videos ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfIle...ture=endscreen ) suggests having a glass of wine and playing some mellow music to get loosened up before you start. Haven't tried that, but the theory seems good. Enjoy your beautiful new machine!
