Hi there, Well if I could have afforded it I would have gone for a Bernina, as it was I got a Brother Innovis 1200, which has an embroidery feature and loads of stitches including quilting ones. Have to say I am very pleased with it and I went for an A-Grade machine which is a total reconditioned practically new machine and saved 400 GBP (thats UK Pounds).
Good luck with the purchase. :D Elle
