My Brother NXQ60 Innova sews sideways. It make more sound when it does, but it does a beautiful job of it. I can program it to sew big loops while I manipulate the fabric when I quilt. So far I have used it to QAG because my neck and shoulders object to quilting large items, and create muscle spasms when I try. It has 150 different stitches that I can program to work in concert to create the quilting design. Love it.
