Hello Kathleen...
You said that you need a new sewing machine! I do have a suggestion. Have you been to Target? I recently bought a sewing machine from Target for less than $150. The brand name is a "Shark Euro-ProX" .
I bought it to take to quilting classes with me! In addition, it comes with a walking foot and a 1/4 inch foot...and the feed dogs drop down. so I did not need to buy anything else except thread and fabric in order to quilt!!
I hope this gives you an idea for a potential purchase!
