I've just begun researching sewing/quilting machines. I'd like to have one within the next couple of months. It's Overwhelming! So many brands how do I know which is best? My budget is no more than $1k. I just had the pleasure of sewing on a $5k Bernina and a $2K Pfaff machine when I took a class at the quilt convention last week. Honestly, both were awesome. The machine I am currently using is 17 years old, so almost anything I buy would be an upgrade. Any recommendations within my budget would be helpful. TIA
