    Mine is an older Bernina 1530 with no bells or whistles.

    I started on my Elna 6001 years ago and moved up to the Handiquilter Sweet Sixteen which is still a sit down just turned 90 degrees from a smaller sewing machine. It's on a 3x3 foot table. I loved it because there was no learning curve since I had already been FMQ-ing on my Elna. To be honest the long-arms scare me!

    Right now I am working on a king-sized Tennessee Waltz and it is performing like a champ. This is the second king-sized I have done along with a lot of lap/twin sized quilts since I got it 4 years ago.

    I do all my FMQ on my Bernina 630, with the BSR foot.
    I am dreaming of a Innova Sit down machine...... some day!

    I use my Juki-TL-98Q. Have made up to a king size quilt on it....king was pushing it...but it worked

    Before I got this one, I used my Bernina 1030.

    I also use a Bernina 1530 for FMQ. It's also great with straight line quilting using my walking foot.
