Newbie here! PatternReview has a
sewing machine review section for comparing machines based upon the features you want.
How fun, I would love a new sewing machine, especially one with a larger throat for quilting. Must-haves in my next machine would be auto-threading, auto thread cutting, automatic presser foot raise/lower, adjustable foot pressure and so much more.
I dream of the Janome Skyline S6, LOL.
