]Me too. But I quickly learned it isn't very practical. It does a nice job. But the hooping up of a quilt sandwich is very hard. And then there's the issue of all the rehooping to do even a small quilt. It can take about 40 on up. Perhaps other machines are better equipped with hoops that work well with a thick quilt.
I have the Horizon MC 12000.
I hardly ever embroider. So the expense for the embroidery machine was wasted. An accurate piecing machine would've been better.
