I was given an Audry by a friend of mine who didn't like it.
TIP for threading the Audrey: Be sure to pass the thread to the RIGHT of the metal tension indicator. Several people think the tension doesn't work, but they have it threaded incorrectly-ask me how I know! The threading directions in book are not helpful.
If I were to purchase a machine, I would buy the Janome.
Our quilting group is almost entirely Janome. They really work well with no problems.
