how does it handle heavy fabrics?

my experience with this machine, as with another Brother machine i had, is that sewing over thick areas is a problem. The general use foot has a black knob/button on the side that is supposed to allow you to lock the foot at the higher position, to be used if the fabric isn't advancing due to a high area such as a thick seam. however it hasn't worked for me far more times than it has.

I am a quilter and am waiting delivery for my Brother HC1850. Will I need to buy extra presser feet such as, a foot to stitch in the ditch or 1/4 in piecing foot other than the open toe walking foot.

Bought this machine for my wife. She loves the options it came with. In answer to your question, yes & yes. The part #s you will need 1) 1/4" Quilting foot-SA 185 2) Even Feed walking foot-SA 140 3) When buying the Even Feed WF you will also want the Guide for it-SA132. Some dealers sell a combo package including both. 4) This machine uses the SA 156 Bobbins. Hope this helps.

What is the difference between free arm and wide table? What are pros and cons? I own an old cabinet style machine that sits flat into the cabinet.

The free arm is for use on sleeves etc. The table attaches to the machine and gives a wider place to place the fabric and room for your hand to guide fabrics. The free arm will slide into a sleeve or tight spot for top stitching on the outside to give a finished look to the exterior of the garment especially in places where you want to have an outside ease for better, more natural fit. The table attachment makes it easier to do long straight stitch lines or stitch lines that require guidance over a longer distance like down the length of a skirt or when you have to use both hands to guide quilt peices through the machine. Does that help you any? I learned to sew on a treadle machine. You haven't lived until you see an old Singer in action!! I still use it when I want a softer stitch for quilts.

How heavy is the machine?
