I bought the 11000 when I still sewed a lot of crafts. Now I use exactly two things on it. The straight and zigzag stitches. Used the embroidery section - probably 3 times. Embroidery bores me. All I do is quilt now - everything else has gone by the wayside - and this is WAAAAY more machine than I need. When this one dies, I'll go to something simpler. That's what I love about quilting. You don't need "fancy" to quilt!
