Opinions please..
My husband would like to get his mother a sewing/embroidery machine for her birthday and asked me to ask the members on my quilting board what machines were their favorites. She is a terrific lady so I want to make sure he gets her a nice one. He is on a budget, $500-$1000,(his sisters are going to chip in). She is in her 70's and sews like a maniac, so I want to find something that will give her a lot of stitch variations and hopefully will last her for another 20 years ( I say this because her father will be 102 years old this September) so I figure she will outlive me..lol
