Nothing wrong with handed down Brother machines or any other type as long as they sew. Your quilt is very nice, now when you say you did the quilting with the standard presser foot does it mean you don't have a walking foot? The walking foot helps to move your layers evenly so you don't get puckers. The great thing about the Brother machines is that you can actually get some of the feet pretty inexpensively. Good luck on your venture.

Thanks everybody! I saw so many things wrong with it, I'm so encouraged by your support 
Thank you, I wasn't sure of the terminology!
I agree! I loved the price my hand-me-down came at, too! 
I did not know that a walking foot was something different, now that I've googled it, I was using an all-purpose foot and do not own a walking foot. I will have to invest, thanks for the tip!
