Free motion on a vintage white machine?
If you can see this puny picture this is a pink vintage WHITE sewing machine posted on craigslist. I want a machine for free motion quilting. Does anyone have experience quilting on a White?

It looks very similar to a blue one I sold last spring. If it is it is no bigger throat size than any other machine. Mine was a workhorse that didn't care what or how thick something was it sewed it. The bobbin is horizontal, don't remember if the feed dogs dropped. It did not have an on and off switch, I had to plug and unplug it. It was very heavy and hard for me to lift up to change the bobbin. Mine also had a knee lever not a foot pedal and it was hard for me to find a position to press the knee lift and my shoulder to be in a good position. I have pretty bad repetitive motion injury to my right shoulder all the way to my fingers so it was just to heavy and cumbersome for me but it sewed very well. Powerful motor, pretty stitch and pretty machine, I hated to get rid of it but it was too much for me and I found it a good home with someone who appreciated it.
