For borders, sashes and binding I use my small Brother machine at the end of my 4x8 cutting table. This way, the quilt is not constantly falling to the floor and causing issues while I stitch. This little Brother machine is lite weight so easy to move to the floor when not in use too. It has quite a few fancy stitches and stitches nicely which is a plus. Only thing it doesn't have is automatic needle threading. I've been spoiled with that on my big machine.
