    The newer Brother machines have an up/down button. even the less expensive machines have them.

    I also am thinking Jernome. I'm also told that you need to look at the length of the bed, I don't plan on doing much quilting on it, maybe only table runners etc. I live in NH and the dealers and repair places are few. thanks for the advice.

    I also would go for a viking! But you need to try out several before you make final decision.
