Patty Sutton –
I have had my Forte for about 15 months. I’ve made almost 70 quilts and am loving this machine. I was able to start quilting right away w Pro Stitcher. Lots of great YouTube videos to rely on for loading, designing, quilting and troubleshooting. Really reliable, steady stitches. I got a 12 foot frame and so far, there hasn’t been a size I can’t handle. Very happy with my purchase!
