Here’s the ones that Sewing machine plus had in the store:
Viking 16 “ $4000
pfaff power quilter 16 $4000
handi quilter Capri 18 $8000. Replaced sweet 16, stitch regulator built in
babylock tiara 3. $6000
babylock regent $6400
bernina q20. $13000
juki virtuoso pro long arm ? $
i also tried a Bailey I really liked at a quilt show.
any thoughts and comments are appreciated. I do not want a stand up machine.
Thanks, MJP
A vote for a Bailey's Home Quilter here. It has a 20 inch throat and is easy to maintain. I have had it about 5 yrs.
