What's your budget? I'm a Bernina convert, but I know many find them too expensive. Janome seems to have a lot of features for the price, and a reputation for quality. That said, my Baby Lock Quest Plus is a quilter's dream: perfect straight feed, easy to acheive perfect 1/4", hundreds of gorgeous stitches, large extension table included, comes with 15 feet and the straight stitch plate, thread stand with antenna for two cones. It's been replaced by the Serenade, so the most recent price I've seen is $999, but you could haggle :).
