go to your local quilt shop, yes, the quilt shop. Not Walmart or any other place. you need to ask questions from someone who knows about machines. You also need a person who will stand by your machine and fix, repair or answer any questions you have about it. The first machine that comes to mind is Janome. They have many models ranging from $300. up to $7000. Yes. thats right. I did not make a typo error. So good luck in your search. Marge
