Do your research first and make sure to try sewing an actual quilt block and a small quilt sandwich before you commit to buying. I've had a love/hate relationship with my Janome 6500 and both my old Bernina and new to me Husqvarna #1+ do a much better stitching job than it does. It loves to balk when starting, jamming up threads, veers off the stitching line at seam junctions and has an oil wick under the bobbin case that needs oiling (not in the manual) or it growls, rattles and jumps out of place. Don't buy unless you get to stitch your stuff first as the little bits of cotton the shop may give you to work on really doesn't show you what you need to know.
