I would strongly suggest picking up a used older machine at a thrift store or such as that. Good solid machine for quilting, and you don't have to spend much. As you get into it more and then you will know what you want to spend your money on. A lot of quilters have more than 1 machine,
I have 3 machines. My old singer, what a workhorse, and 2 janomes that I really love. Take your time and don't rush into it.
Just my 2 cents worth.
