Hi
I'm looking to upgrade from a 20 year old basic sewing machine to a sewing quilting machine. Any advice? I'm almost over the sticker shock. I would like a machine I can use from start to finish .... Quilt blocks to quilting the layers. One machine that appears to meet my needs is the Brother innov-is NX2000.
Regards

It's a good idea to look on the net for reviews of the specific brand and model of machine you are considering. Sometimes you can find them on Amazon.
http://www.patternreview.com is also a good place to find actual user reviews of specific brands and models. I couldn't find your exact model there, but found this one:

Do you have different dealers near you so you can try out a few brands? There isn't much of a choice where I live, luckily it's Viking and that's what I have and love. I know if I drove an hour or two I'd have more options. But if I have a problem, I surely don't want a long commute to go get it fixed or just for advice. Just something to consider. :)
