I have a brother sq9000 and used it for years for quilting and loved it! It was $200 at walmart and i have never had a problem. It also came with all the quilting feet you need. Its the sq9050 now... same machine with more stitches. I recently got a baby lock symphony and its amazing! I would go to different dealers near you and test drive machines... you will find what works best for you! Have fun!!!
