Welcome to the Quilting Board!

what type/brand name of sewing/quiltng machines do you use? basically the same as in the US?
PFAFF-GrandQuilter. Straight stitch only. I love mine too.
Elna Quilters Pro, had it now for 3 years and had no problems with it at all.
The sewing machine brands on the Europe/UK markets are basically the same ones as in the US.
My machines (UK): Janome Horizon and Singer Inspiration.
My family & friends in Germany: My mom has been using Singers ever since I can remember (40 years or so). My oldest friend has a Bernina, my SIL just treated herself to a Babylock.
