Janet,I have a singer Quantum XL6000 singer sewing and embroidery machine.It sews like a dream and has an automatic bobbin winder and thread exchanger which is great when you have a lot of thread changes in embroidery.I have had this machine for over six years and no problems with it.It was made by jukie but I dont think they are making this machine anymore.My neighbor has a singer embroidery machine and she likes it.I have a 47 year old kenmore that I never use but it still runs.
