A respectable dealer is an important factor too. I think there have been several stories posted here about problems after purchase. The first embroidery machine I bought was one used for a class I took. Luckily, I had no problem with it, but the dealer took off to avoid being arrested because of some illegal business practices. I now only use a local shop owned by long-time local residents. He is also the only local dealer who can work on various machines. For me, that trust is as important as the brand of machine, although they do carry two brands that are highly spoken about on this board. See above.
Happy shopping.!

I got a Brother Innovus 2800D. Through a sewing shop. it does all those things and connects to a pc, or flash drive or a card. Since I am a renew sewer the woman at the sewing store has been very helpful with the machine. they want you to love your machine. I do love my machine. So far I have played alot with teh embroidery, and worked on my appiques and quilt blocks . I did some quilting on my applique peices but I havent done any large project quilting to give an account on how it did. Hope Santa brings you a nice one!
ps a renew sewer one that used to sew as a child in school and is now almost 50 and is starting again.

First thing to decide is how much you can afford/or are willing to spend. Berninas are great machines but can be very pricey! Visit your local quilt shops and check out what they have to offer,see who has the best customer service for you. You may find just the perfect used machine at a dealer too as most take trade ins when they sell new machines. Good Luck and happy shopping!!
