My old Singer works great for piecing. I found it in our basement about ten years ago. The tension has never been right and I can't machine quilt on it. Everything comes out messed up and the stitch lengths are always terribly uneven. I am planning on hand quilting my next project but between full time at school and a full time job, I would never get anything done if it were by hand. Does anyone own or know of a good machine I can look into for maybe $200-400? Pros and cons if possible. I'd go a little higher if I felt it were worth it. I'm a college student on a budget, help!
