Update: I've FMQ'd a twin sized quilt, and it did great! (After fiddling with the thread tension, presser feet tensions, changing/re-threading bobbins, needles, and type of thread.) I've even used a few of the decorative stitches I thought I'd never use. Love the pop-up throat plates. But like others, I'm short and pudgy, and not sure the knee bar is for me... and I'm too old school---find my hand reaching for the back of the presser foot almost every time. Also, I think I need to sew somewhere other than the kitchen table--HAHA.. as height is a problem to begin with. It is quiet (the hubby doesn't crank up the volume on the TV like he used to). It has made me get into the Christmas craft mood a lot sooner than normal. The acrylic table almost acts like a light table with all the lights on the machine. Happy I got it now.
