I'm stuck between the Janome Magnolia 7330 and the Baby Lock Grace BL40A. Both are priced the same- $399. I'm a brand new quilter starting my first class next month.
I also somewhat considering the Janome Jem Gold 3, which costs $279 comes with a bunch of quilting feet that I'd have to buy if I bought on of the other machines, but I am worried I will "grow out" of it too quickly. I could see myself wanting the adjustable speed, needle up/down button, start/stop button, and variable stitch length, which the Jem Gold 3 doesn't have. The salesman also told me the motor is more powerful in the computerized machines (the Jem is not computerized), but I'm not sure if that makes a difference in the quilting I will do.
Does anyone have any insight on any of these machines?
Do you have any advice for me?
