I have a Brother CE-5000 PRW that I purchased at Walmart for around $125.00. It's light to haul around to classes etc. but has everything a quilter could want. I've taken it to "Free Motion" classes, Beginning Quilting classes , sewing classes and many other things and it has stood up well. It is a computerized machine that came with many attachment and the capabilities to do many types of stiches. I would recommend this machine to anyone. I just love it.
