I agree with the ladies to get what is going to serve your needs. Don't spend the money if it's not going to be used. Me, I have 5 sewing machines and each one does something different. I have to admit 5 is to many but very often I'll have two machines going at the same time. Embroidery and quilting can be going at the same time. I must admit I retired a year ago and am trying to make up for lost time.
