So I am looking for recommendations for a sewing/quilting machine with"cruise control" variable speed setting for around $150.
Call Brother for sure - all they can do is say no, right? But please think about your sewing budget. If you get a machine that annoys you, you will quit sewing - too much bother. Buy something that makes sewing fun.
