Read machine reviews and try them out.
that's a hoot! (because it's a perfect example of how different humans get along with the same machines. lol)
i adore my 8900 because - among other things - it winds a better bobbin than my waaaaaaaaaay more expensive brother, and it sails right over lumpy seams, which the brother won't. (are you using the acufeed? i never use the regular feet so have no idea how they do or don't perform over lumps.)
i'm sorry you don't/didn't like yours. they are not inexpensive so that must be frustrating.
