This is the spec's and I'm pretty sure I have used all of these features and lots of the 163 stitches. I love that you can just touch the button for the fabric type and it adjusts the tension perfectly!

My mega quilter doesn't get at much use as it should but it has tons of features. I think the reason is it is in my craft room and I prefer to sew in the kitchen. Just last night my husband said you don't spend any time in there and I replied I like it better downstairs. I did offer to trade rooms and take over the family room too.....no bite on that one yet : ). One of the really cool things is it goes FAST and it has a screw on 1/4 inch guide so you can do strip sets super fast and accurate.
My frame is slightly different than this one, it has a pantograph shelf, which I have taken off and does not have the utility shelf underneath. I store my big tubs a fabric underneath and that doesn't get in the way of sewing. I also added blocks under the legs, because I like to sit on the edge of a stool and FMQ.

So what kind of machine do you use and what is your favorite feature?
This quilt was done on the frame and took just a few hours to do all the micro stippling. I love the way the flowers stand out!
