Lots of quilt shops have the Eversewn machines. I'd buy from Amazon. Easy free return if you don't like it. My last two machines I bought new from Amazon. Both were shipped from the machine manufacturer with full warranty and I saved the mark up price of the dealer. I didn't need lessons for these machines.
I remember some years back the high end Kenmore was rated number 1 by many consumer groups for features and ease of use. I want to say it was named the Rose. Not sure though. The same company made New Home and then Janome.
