Hello from sunny Oceanside, CA.
Total newbie to quilting. Sewed for years 'til I made myself freaky because everything had to be perfect.
I have been enjoying this site for about a month and now I have a question. I am good with design and I have dear friends that do quilt tops and I want to do it all. I have been researching quilting machines and figured out that I don't want a free hand. I need one that has templates I can follow, I don't want to freak out again and I don't want to have to sell the farm to buy one. Something simple but sturdy and not too big. Any suggestions? I am a working woman so I have to schedule in my craft.

I think all sewing machines will do the tops. As far as the quilting part goes...I do SID (stitch in the ditch) with mine and I can do some easy cross hatch XXXX's and decorative stitches in a line. So, you probably can do fine with your own machine. With a little money (or should I say a lot of money) you can have someone do the quilting for you!
