they have to oiled every hour of use, and are tempermental about threads!
I tried to quilt on my dads and gave up...it needs a stitch regulator but I don't want to put $300 into it...

I have a Brother machine built for the Commercial market, and not intended for home use. It does not need to be oiled, and I haven't noticed any "fussiness" about threads, or anything else for that matter. Sometimes I have to write to Brother to get the right sewing foot I want, but they always find it in "the back warehouse" somewhere! They've been great! I love this machine! It sews through layers of denim, leather, anything! Powerful thing! And does just as well with silk-like materials.

So happy for you! We acquired a Singer 120U in similar circumstances. It does go fast, but has a wide throat and will sew anything from drapery sheers up to upholstry leather. The lady we got it from had used it for making teddy bears,etc. out of fake fur. We were told we could get a clutch for it to slow it down. Have not pursued the search so far.
