thanks for any opinions. i just don’t want to waste all my christmas money on something that isn’t worth it.
thanks.
oh, i just want it for fairly basic sewing of ‘normal’ materials and i might try a simple quilt some day.

dumenuff asked:
I want to purchase a new sewing machine. I have looked at many different models on the web and read about the various features. I will use the machine primarily for making quilts, both piecing and machine quilting. I would also like to have some extra stitches, such as basting, zigzag, appliqué, and the stitching that resembles hand quilting. Basically I just want quilting stitches, but others are okay to have too. I also need to be able to drop the feed dogs and a darning or walking foot will be needed. I do not need to do embroidery. I also need a machine that runs quietly, because hubby works nights, and I sew during the day while he’s sleeping. I am not stuck on any particular brand and am open to all suggestions. This will be my first purchase of a brand new machine, so please keep the comments to personal knowledge you have had with the machine you recommend. I thought it might be a good time to buy with Mother’s Day coming up, there might be some sales. I would like to spend less than $800, but if the machine you recommend is more than that, its ok too. I would consider a reconditioned or slightly used model.
Thank you all for your wonderful suggestions. There were so many good ideas, it was difficult to choose a best answer. I loved the Bernina, but it was way out of my price range. I like the Pfaff and the Janome MC6600 as well, but again, both were out of my price range. I didn’t want to settle for a used machine because there would be no warranty if it stopped working next week. So I ended up purchasing a Husqvarna Viking Platinum 750 Quilter’s machine. It is exactly the same as the new 755, only the faceplate is a different color. I got it new, with a warranty and a few freebies too, like a stippling foot, extra bobbins, etc. and had money left. I got free classes to use the machine. It has a good trade-in policy (full price during 1st year, then book price thereafter), and the maintenance and repair work is done by the shop owners. Here is a link if anyone is interested in seeing the machine I chose.

I have looked at Jo-Ann fabrics but didn’t find any. The sales associate, although helpful was not able to find any. I can’t imagine they would sell a machine with 3 bobbins and that is it. I need info, please!
