Welcome to the board from Southern California!!!

There are so many different machines out there in all price ranges. I recommend setting your price range, trying out the machines and it does help if you have a dealer of that machine not too far off to be able to take classes and for any repairs that may eventually come up.

Hi,

Thank-you, all for your quick responses, they'be been greatly appreciated. It has been a warm welcome to the quilting board. :)

In my area, there is Bernina, Brother, Janome, and Pfaff dealer. I've been to all but the the Bernina, which I plan to visit Friday (I work away from home during the week).

One feature that I liked on the Brother was the multi-directional sewing for straight and zigzag. So far, I have found the Brother had the most usable features, but I'm still researching and comparing it to the Janome. My only issue is the machine is so new on the market I haven't been able to find a review. :(

I love my viking sapphire 870..........it has the automatic thread cutter, presser foot lifter and it's pretty.

Good Luck on whatever you decide!
