Sewing machines are like car's everyone likes theirs. I have had many different machines over the years.
White, Singer, Elna, Brothers and now I have (3) baby locks.
One is the Decorators Choice, that I take to my classes, love it. Then I have the Quilter's choice that I use for most of my sewing at home. Also have my big machine the Baby Lock Ellisimo, love that one also. I do mostly embroidery on that, since I have two machines in my sewing room, it is easier not to have to change the foot on my big machine to sew.
It is best to go to different shop's try out all the various types, see what feels right to you.
Most of the people that I go to quilt class with have Bernina's Jermone, a lot of them have the little baby feather weight's. Everyone loves their machines.
For me, it is Baby Lock, but for you it might be something else.
