You already have an embroidery machine you are happy with. Does that 12 year old Kenmore have the needle up or down when you stop feature?. If it does, sounds to me like you already have what is ideal. If quilting is your focus, perhaps spend that money on one of the special cutters, like accuquilt. Does your current machine have enough harp space for large projects? Have you taken a drive with any of the Baby Lock machines?
