Oh, I wouldn't use it for that. Our ancestors have used machines for quilting since they came out and I know we have members here who quilt on their vintage singers... but no, this machine has a very small throat. And small modern machines like this don't have the motor to 'power through' like the vintage machines. It would be fine for table runners/place mats I expect, not sure about bulky seams.
My new viking has a 12 inch throat and very high vertical space and is a dream to free motion on.
