I use my Brother HS2000 machine & although I wish it had a bigger throat area, I really enjoy working with it! I find puddling is easier than rolling my work most of the time on this machine.

Use my regular sewing machine with a walking foot-only small quilts.

Actually, her name is Patsy Thompson. You can go to patsythomspondesigns.com to see all her DVD's on machine free motion quilting. My husband bought ALL of them for me for Valentine's day. WOW! She even has short clips of each one on her sight. These are the BEST DVD's I've ever seen. She's very good with detailed instruction.

I free motion when I quilt. I usually just do lap quilts or wall hanging, tablerunners - smaller stuff. Send the larger stuff out.

I quilt on my Janome MC4000 and on my New Home school sewing machine. (I don't know why it's called a school sewing machine except that it is a very sturdy machine with very few bells and whistles. 3 stitch lengths, 3 zig zags, a buttonhole, and a blind stitch. My walking foot fits on it. I prefer to use the New Home because it isn't as fragile. The only kind of quilting is stitch-in-the-ditch, and cross-hatching. Works for me. When I have anything more "complex" I hand quilt (with a hoop or just lap quilting. I am no pro.

I do. I have an old new home machine. I also hand quilt.

A long arm machine is on my wish list for when I retire from my full time day job, and I'm trying to save the money to be able to buy one then. Until then, I'll machine quilt with pleasure using my Pfaff.
I also have a Pfaff and machine quilt most of my quilts. I do mostly Stitch in the Ditch quilting as I haven't mastered free motion quilting yet. May in Jersey

Im just learning, I do use my sewing machine.Im not perfect but it is fun. pratice makes perfect. I have used stencils, When I found out that you use stencils, I was happy as a lamb, I went to the sewing store and bought a few. I love them.
