hi judymay - i have a babylock jane - bought 2 yrs ago - dealer floor model - $725 - a walking foot, 1/4 inch foot and fmq foot (and a few others) were all included. these feet typically are.
i have an old, good condition, singer t&s with zig zag and cams so i didn't need a machine that could repeat those same functions. what i wanted (and the bl jane has) was a large harp area, straight stitch only, vertical bobbin, bigger (and newer motor) with the 1500 spm capability. i especially didn't want to stress my little old singer with the hours of running that machine quilting requires. i also like that the feed dog height, tension (upper and bobbin),presser foot pressure and of course stitch length are all easily adjustable. i was surprised to find that i love the needle down and thread cutter. i reach for them on my treadle and t&s :-( - they are never there.
there are brother machines online for about $600 - often with extras, but for a variety of reasons, it was worth the extra 125 for me to go with a dealer.
i doubt that i would have paid much more than that. i have read that the brother 1500 and the bl jane are the same - also that they are not the same.
all i can say is they look alike - and i love my bl. generally, reviews on the qb are positive for this class of machine (straight stitch only, approx. 9" harp, high speed - $600 -1000 range). whatever your choice, you will love your new machine.
