For general sewing, I would strongly recommend against a straight stitch only machine, as a primary machine. As a secondary machine, they would be perfect (especially as a quilting machine)- but there are just so many reasons in sewing, both quilting and garment that a zig zag is needed.
I don't need any decorative stitches or alphabets- but a good adjustable zig zag, yes.
