I quilt on my Janome MC4000 and on my New Home school sewing machine. (I don't know why it's called a school sewing machine except that it is a very sturdy machine with very few bells and whistles. 3 stitch lengths, 3 zig zags, a buttonhole, and a blind stitch. My walking foot fits on it. I prefer to use the New Home because it isn't as fragile. The only kind of quilting is stitch-in-the-ditch, and cross-hatching. Works for me. When I have anything more "complex" I hand quilt (with a hoop or just lap quilting. I am no pro.

A long arm machine is on my wish list for when I retire from my full time day job, and I'm trying to save the money to be able to buy one then. Until then, I'll machine quilt with pleasure using my Pfaff.
