I am in the market for a new machine. What made you choose the MC8900? I think machines are the hardest thing to shop for. I haven't been to a store, but looking online....is there a place that has all the major brands listed with their features. I don't even know where to begin looking! I don't know if I have a big sewing machine store around here anywhere...as you can tell, I'm just starting the process but I'm overwhelmed!
What features are must-haves? I really want a stitch regulator, needle threader, thread cutter. What else is a must-have?
