Machines are so expensive!!!! I went on ebay and bought an old singer a 15-91 only does straight stitch but you have a main you can pull out for decorative stitches doesn't do up or down needlet though but I got it cheap, it's a workhorse! Has large throat for quilt!!! Bought cheaper one for decorative stitches would love a little more but they are so expensive and all the computerized stuff scares me and has stuff I'd never use!!!!
