Thanks.
I got a Brothers XR9000 120-stitch Function Computerized Sewing Machine w/ Alphabet Font. I got it off of Overstock.com for $150. I had been looking, like you, for a less expensive machine with decorative stitiches I could use for machine applique and machine quilting (with walking foot). This sells for $300 new and the machine I bought was refurbished. It's absolutely wonderful and just what I wanted. I really don't want a computerized embroidery machine, just the decorative stitches.

Hope that helps.
