I would like recommendations for a new sewing machine. I lost my Bernina Virtuosa 150 that I bought new in 2001. I loved that machine. I could do anything on it from making crafts to machine quilting.

I haven't shopped for a new machine since 2001, so I'm out of the loop on whether Bernina is still a good brand or if they have gone downhill? If it's no longer a good brand, what's another brand that's good?

I don't know what newer machines offer, but I would like to have a machine again that I can do quilting, I only need basic stitches, a strong machine that can sew through several layers of denim when needed and I loved the foot pedal.

I would love a machine that it's insides are mostly metal, is that possible anymore?
