You also wouldn't be able to do any walking foot quilting, which is what the machine does best (in my opinion!).

I would suggest you get the machine and not set it into the table until you quilt on it a little, and decide just exactly how you want to use it to quilt. FMQ with feed dogs always down: your plan will work. FMQ with feed dogs up, or walking foot quilting: your plan will not work.
