I have the Singer Quantum and love it. I'm not biased because I have a Bernina, Janome, two Brother machines. I like all of them. Buy what you can afford with the features you want. I would consider the Eversewn Sparrow 25. It isn't expensive and you can have a good machine and not worry about spending so much and can upgrade later on to what you know you want a machine to do or not do.
