    I have had the baby lock esante for a couple of years. With that machine just drop the feed dogs. It does free motion like a hot knife through butter. I have 3 other machines and this one beats them all hands down for doing free motion.

    The first quilt I free motioned on was an Elna with a 6 inch throat. My quilt was a queen size.

    I agree with you. I don't find the BSR on mine any easier at all!

    Oh you should, practice makes perfect....For me, having the Slider (or something equivalent), made all the difference in the world....Check out Leah Day's site -
