If you google Quilter's review you will get to Sharon Darling's site. She has articles about sewing machines and quilting products and books that she has reviewed. I found her opinions to be unbiased just giving pros and cons and leaving the decision to you and the type of sewing that you do. Actually if you go to this page you get right to the list of sewing machines that she has checked out. Hope that this might be helpful information. pat
