Hello and Welcome from Northern Indiana !
As for a new sewing machine.. you can use the search button on top and type in "new machine " and find lots of topics to get you started .
Also make a list of "your" must haves on a new machine, for example, needle up/down, feed dogs drop, how many fancy stitches ( if you even want or need them ) What do you want the machine to be able to do ?
Also go to any local dealers and talk to them , test drive the machine, play with them and have fun :mrgreen:

i am most in love with my Janome MC660P. my second love is my MC11000 because it also embroiders.
the only other machine on the market right now that interests me is the newest Singer. it's their answer to the 6600, except their version of the AccuFeed feet snap on, which i would love. however, i don't know where i could see one and test it, so can't give a worthwhile opinion.

I would love to have the Viking Sapphire. A big huge neck are to roll you quilt to machine quilt, lots of stitches, needle positions, needle up needle down. A needle threader... awsome machines... I have the bigger Vikings but would love this one to take to classes so I didnt have to carry my big machine

About 1-2 months ago I got the Janome 6600 for 1049! Its a real sweet machine!! There's a new one coming out to replace this one so there are many good deals on them. The new ones, I was told (which is a guesstamate) would run between 8-900 more.
You won't be sorry!!
