I am looking to get a new machine also. I would like a combo sewing/embroidery machine. I am not sure how much I would use the embroidery part though. I keep hearing the Brother machines are good. Are any of the ones that Amazon has on sale any good? They seem to have really good prices on them right now. Right now I just have the $79 Target special singer tradition. Nothing fancy. I've just started learning to quilt and am loving it. I am really confused about the different brands they have out there.
