I don't think that my dream machine has been made yet but I know exactly what I want. I'd like a fast powerful machine (like my Juki)with a wide harp (12 inches would be nice) with an excellent straight stitch. I'd like that straight stitch to be able to stitch from very small up to a large basting stitch (2 stitches per inch). I would want the machine to have a variety of quilting specialty stitches such as blanket stitch, serpentine, a great satin stitch etc.in addition to basic zig zag. I'd also want needle up and needle down, thread trimming, bush button stop and start in addition to a foot control and a knee control, built in walking foot, buttonholer, excellent free motion capabilities, wonderful lighting and a super easy to fill extra large bobbin. I'd also want a practical sturdy table/cabinet so that this machine would be flush with my sewing surface (no acrylic surround needed!). I'd also like to see this system affordable ($1500-$2000 range). I can only dream.
