Hello and welcome from the north east. Good luck finding a machine that you can quilt with. I see you started a thread in the Main section that has gotten some helpful comments already.

In my search for a machine that has good stitches for stippling, I have decided on a used Bernina. Haven't bought one yet, but have been looking at the prices of them on eBay and Googling information about them.
