I have Brother, Janome, Bernina, and Singer. I use to have a Pfaff. I think they all are about the same. My favorite go to machine is my new Eversewn Sparrow 30. It has every feature except embroidery with hoops. I use a Brother 1500 for machine quilting because it has a long harp space. I have the Brother 8500D for embroidery. Featherweight for cuteness. Bernina because it's a classic and Janome for the kids to use. I have a total of 8 machines and they all sew great.
