Should it be this tough to pick a machine?
When I bought my "Cadillac" machine, I looked around, read reviews and decided on the Babylock Ellegante. I love it and it does everything I thought I wanted and more.... but it's in for repair and cleaning and I realized I don't care for the Singer 160 I have as a back up. I started looking for a lower end machine $300-$400 and I am at the end of my rope. Every manufacturer has one, there are conflicting reviews and no dealers nearby to check them out. I think I have narrowed it down to the Janome DC2012 or a comparable Brother machine. Anyone have an opinion on what has worked well for a back up? I am seriously confused at this point and just want some honest opinions. thanks!
