Our guild had a well known quilter do a class for us. One asked her what machine she used at home. She said I shouldn't tell this but I use a Brother off Walmart shelf. She said her high end Bernina quilt sewing one evening and she had a deadline to finish sewing a quilt. She said she went to Walmart and bought a Brother machine to finish the quilt top. She said she liked it so much the Bernina is sitting in a closet.
Another teacher told us she buys an on the shelf machine, uses it until it breaks and then buys another one. She said they last for several years and she isn't out thousands of dollars or the need to have the machine repaired for hundreds
