No. One machine won't do it all. I got a PFAFF embroidery machine that has a harp almost as large as my 1973 Singer which does all basic sewing and has some decorative stitchers, but is heavy. It also has a large harp so I've quilted king size quilts on it. The PFAFF is also heavy. I recently got a smaller, lighter Janome to take to classes and stuff. I was debating getting a Singer featherweight instead.

Thank you so much, Ya I have already decided I think I will get the Juki because I have heard so many great things about the machine. But I do a few questions about it so I will be PM about them when I get ready to buy it.

I'm really glad I shelled out the extra money for the Juki though. If you're going to go with two machines and if one them can be a straight-stitch only machine, then the Juki is a really good investment. There are a lot of threads on here about the 2010, so I won't go into the details of what I like about the machine, but feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

I am looking at a Bernina #153 quilting machine for a second machine. I am told it is about 10 years old. Do any of you have any knowledge/references about this model? It is a white machine with red.

I'm still hoping for feedback on the Bernina 153 if anyone has knowledge of it.
Everyone her has such good ideas an experience with dfferent machines an models.
Thanks
