My own master bedroom is Ikea Hemnes series, my quilt studio is all Billy Bookcases and Expedit cube system. My upholstery fabric on my older love seat and dining room chairs is Ikea, my window coverings, too. The designers at Ikea know how to combine style, value and quality. I don't see why their sewing machine would not be as good a purchase as well. I'd probably own one if I had not been given my mom's and my mil's featherweights many years ago!
