I can't afford to spend much more than 150 bucks. I love my simple little singer. It works really well. Just kind of want a little upgrade but still nothing too advanced. This machine has a bunch of great reviews. Thanks!
You want to watch out for those macines at Wal Mart, Target, etc. The internal parts are plastic and wear out fast. If you only sew occasionally they would be fine, but for quilting I would suggest you look for a used machine that has been reconditioned. Check your local dealers, they often have trade-ins, and can help you find one in your price range and needs. A friend used to work at the WalMart fabric dept. and told me she had several people bring their machines back because they broke the first or 2nd time they were used.
