Define a lot of money.
$400 dollars for a Bernina 830 that will adequately do all your quilting needs, or more for something computerized that will quilt, embroider, wash floors, fix lasagna, make the beds, and correct your kids homework?
I suspect there are cheaper machines, my Elna Super does most of the piecing work. It cost me 60 dollars plus shipping and 150 dollars to have repaired. I guess it would handle large quilts if you got a walking foot for it. I just like the solidness of the Bernina.
