What would you use?
Good Morning All,
I haven't been on in a long time. Had a baby 14 months ago and well life happens. I am hoping to get back in the groove and sewing more again. I have an old machine that was my Grandmas (so it is about 60 years old). It is a great machine but not made to handle the quilting aspect that I am into now. I also have a White from JoAnns that my parents got me when I started sewing (also not meant to handle the amount of sewing that I am doing). So I told my dear husband that I needed a new, reliable machine for Christmas this year. He agreed but last week told me that I needed to pick a machine because he was just going to buy it for me for "being such a good wife and great mom mom". So I am in the market for a machine. I sew about anything but quilting is my love so I want a machine that can handle FMQ as well as piecing and straight line quilting (so a little of everything). Just wondered what you guys are using and recommend. Obviously the less expensive the better but no more than $1200. We don't have a lot of local shops here in central PA but I know of a Bernina and a Janome shop for sure. Thanks for your help!
