I purchased a Brother SQ9185 at Walmart for $200.00. Came with walking foot and other things that I can't remember. Has needle down, needle threader and a lot of decorative stitches. And drop in bobbin which I think a new sewer would like. Also easy to take out the cover for cleaning. I have been using it for six months, sewing a few hours every day andit runs well. The only other thing I might want is the thread cutter but I can live without it.
