First of all welcome to the board!
Doesn't Joann's let you try them out? That may be a good idea to see how they feel. All machines are different.
I also would not buy a new Singer. But I've heard good things about the others you linked. One that you may look
at is Eversewn. It's a newer brand and I've read good reviews on it. I know Amazon carries them as well as Missouri Star Quilt Company.
Whatever you get, good luck, and let us know!
