Hi Guys,

Would just like to tap into all that experience out there.... Can you all tell me which machine you feel is the best for just quilting.... no embroidery.... just quilting!

Hugs

Oh my. You've opened a can o'worms here. If there are 1,000 different quilters, you will get 1,000 different opinions. I'll start: Husqvarna/Viking Signature Quilting

I had an old JCPenney's that I liked just fine & still use & now I also have the 6500 Janome that I like alot for some of the features like -larger throat space, up/down needle stop position,a button to push to cut the thread, & more designs-which I don't use as much as I thought I would.

I bought my Juki TL98Q just for quilting. It has a 9" throat and I can quilt a king size with no problems.

Hope this helps.

Ditto TonnieLoree-"You've opened a can o'worms here. If there are 1,000 different quilters, you will get 1,000 different opinions."

Janome 6500 or 6600 but really plain a Juki. I use a Janome 6500 or vintage machines.
