I LOVE my Brother sew and quilt from Walmart. It was 199.00. I have a Viking #1 and not at all happy with the stitches when quilting on it, just mostly use it for embrodery. I do lap or baby quilts on the brother, and all my piecing. Paid a few thousand for my Viking. I can replace my Brother if it ever has a real problem for less than the price of a repair cost on the Viking. If you are willing to wrestle with a large quilt, it can be done, just be sure to have a large table to rest the quilt on.
