For the small wallhangings, runners and such, I just SID, outline and simple things like that on one of my regular machines. I have a mid-arm, a Brother 1500 that sits on a New Joy. They cost a lot less, but there are downfalls. With a set-up like I have, you start out with a 5" quilting area. You have to keep in mind that, as you quilt, you lose more and more area, the queen size I just did went down to almost a 3" area, so you have to plan designs well. I am still trying to figure out how to have a large enough area so that I can "blend" the quilting, making it not look like it was done in rows. They say this is a sign that I am ready to upgrade to a LA!!! I can quilt up to a 105" quilt on it.
I am also wanting to learn more about FMQ on a domestic machine for my smaller pieces so I don't have to just SID and outline. Will be checking out the website mentioned before.
