Favorite sewing machine for quilters
#152
I am about ready to purchase a Janome Horizon. This machine would be light years beyond my 25 year old White, so am a bit intimidated. I would be going from 13 stiches to 250 and I hope the learning curve won't be too frustrating.

I have a Babylock Espire and love the machine. She is now marketed as a Symphonie. However, I recently read that Babylock has added the built-in walking foot on their new model. Here I thought I was DONE buying new machines for a while......
Don't you agree that buying a sewing machine is very much like buying a car? It has to "fit" the driver.

I have a Babylock Ellisimo and absolutely LOVE it for quilting!! I have a Husqvarna Viking D1 ESS and love that also for quilting. I do have a larger surface area to work on with my Elli so I use her the most...plus she's brand new so I love to play with it!! Take a peek @ Babylock, it just might rock your world!! :lol:

I have the Babylock Quest Plus that has the built in walking foot so there are no tucks when quilting. A deciding factor was all the feet work with the PDQ and it came with a large table, so there was no added expense. Has a perfect straight stitch and almost 9" of space. The new Quest is called the Serenade. Also, have 2 Vikings that sew nicely, but would not get a machine without the PDQ (precision dual feed) or IDF (Pfaff's name).
