I got an inexpensive Brother from Costco. Never thought I'd do that but its worked great. Wanted one to have at one end of my cutting table just to attach binding and longer borders. This gave me the table space I needed so the quilt wasn't hanging over putting lots of weight and pulling on the needle. Paid a couple hundred for it. Well worth it to me. Plus the feet on my Babylock high end machine works on the Brother machine so two-fold.
