Keep it simple. Also the suggestion of a "SEW & VAC Shop" in your area is a great one. So many machines have a large number of stitches and you end up using less than five on a regular basis. The prices rise accordingly. My machine was bought used four years ago and I am delighted with it (Viking Husqvarna) but I am thinking about the Bernina or Janome for my next one. good luck and ENJOY YOUR QUILTING. You didn't ask but best thing to do when learning is to
Join A Bee, great support and friendship awaits.......

I am toying with the idea of embroidery - if that complicates the issue - then just stick to the best for quilting.
Any suggestions would be appreciated - even if you can just let me know the features necessary to quilt.
