Consider what you are going to be using your machine for. If you are not considering doing professional work you may want to consider fewer bells and whistles. Considering the cost of these machines less sometimes is more and also much more cost effective. The top of the line Gammil and a less expensive machine will give you what you want if you are quilting just for yourself. My LA'er has the Gammil with all the bells and whistles and says that it is unlikely with the machine running hours every day will not come close to using all the different designs and motifs that her machine has to offer. You may find you can save a great deal of money by checking around at different machines. You may even want to hold off right now until things settle down with COVID a bit so you don't make a rash decision.
