I have made a couple of quilts by piecing the tops together on my VERY cheap Brother sewing machine and then hand quilting them.

However, now I have some extra money and would like to get a really good quilting machine. I called a local sewing machine store, and they told me that they would recommend the Handi Quilter Sixteen, which is $8,000.00!!!! I DON'T have THAT much money! LOL! I don't really want to spend over $2000.00, but I don't know what kind of machine to get or where to get it.

I'd love some advice from all of you quilting pros!

Thanks in advance!
Cyndi
