I dont know much about them, other than everyone I have talked to here at the quilt store says they like that brand.. Anyone have any thoughts on one for just regular quilting - nothing like sergers, ect..
My best experience has always been Bernina. In many shops there is an opportunity to buy a slightly used but with complete warranty machine that someone turned in within a year on a more expensive machine. I bought one about twenty years ago and it has many features available today already and was much less $. I use it every day and LOVE IT. It is a
1090 and a wonderful work horse. I have made more than forty quilts on it but send the larger ones to LAQ for quilting.
