I would recommend either a Pfaff with the IDT feature (you won't need to buy a walking foot). You might check for used ones at a reputable dealer or if you are confident in cleaning a machine, check out Ebay. The other machine I would check out is the Elna, model 6003 or 6005. I would not buy a newer model of either of these for myself because they are now made by another company which I won't mention here. I own both and love them both. The Elna is my overall favorite and the feet are not expensive. You would need to buy a walking foot for the Elna but not for the Pfaff.
