Which machines should I consider?
Hello :-)
I am new to this site and pretty new to quilting as well. I'm from New Jersey, and I am a first year teacher. I also crochet and am much better at that than quilting, lol.
I have been quilting by hand, but would like to try it with a machine. I don't have one, so I'm looking for advice. I don't want to spend a fortune, but I don't want to buy a hunk of junk either. Any advice is much appreciated!
Thanks,
Randi

I know the brand I would suggest but that would make it too easy for you. First, write down what you want in a machine. Just wanting it to 'sew' isn't enough anymore. I love Janome. A Janome 6600P has about everything anyone could want, 9" harp and thread cutter allows greater easy in quilting. Has the accufeed and is just wonderful.

You can get a Jem Platinum for under $500.
It's a great little machine
I bought it to take to workshops, sew-ins etc because it's lightweight - about 13 lbs
The Jem Gold is also a good machine and would be a bit cheaper
Almost forgot to say Welcome
