Best machine for blanket stitch + embroidery
I have been frustrated with the several machines I've used recently for making a nice, reliable, non-puckered, tiny blanket stitch for machine applique. I've used a Memory Craft 9000, an Innov-is 1000 and a Janome Jem Platinum. The little Jem seemed to do the best, but I'm searching for a combo embroidery sewing machine that will do a mean, effortless, tiny embroidery blanket stitch so I don't have to swap machines with every project. FYI the Innov-is 1000 wasn't a tiny enough stitch and not adjustable to make it small enough for me and the MC 9000 is just old and has feed issues. I really don't want to spend more than $1000 so I know a used machine is probably going to be my best bet. I am not interested in spending a dime on a high end machine that won't do a tiny reliable blanket stitch. Recommendations? Thanks in advance.
