    I watched the daughter of my LQS owners sew a large bag on the Horizon. I was impressive how well it handled multiple layers. Now I'd like to see it FMQ.

    I have the Horizon and it's a wonderful machine! But, there's so many great machines that only you can decide what is best for you! You should definately take all the time you need to see the options and being close to your dealer and repair shop is worth tons! Enjoy and best of luck.

    Brother Quattro top of the line. You can sew/piece, FMQ, and embroider. I sold my Bernina 440QE and bought this machine and I've haven't regretted it.

    I would hold off until September when the new Dreamweaver comes out from Brother. But probably in the end would purchase the Babylock Seranade. The Seranade is a step above the Quest Plus I guess as it has the thread cutting ability that mine does not, and auto tension. The one thing I just really love above this machine is that it has markings on it for all the seams on the base of the machine in front of where the needle area is. So I am never having to guess where 1/4 is as I am feeding my fabric. Silly little thing I know but I really like it. I guess I just love my machine.

    Bernina, not just because of the price tho. I have one and I love it. Bought mine a year before I retired. Have sewed all my life, had lots of machines, the Bernina is the best by far. Best money I ever spent!!
