I have a Singer Futura 150 which is an embroidery/sewing machine and a Juki F400. I like the Singer but I absolutely love my Juki. It truly feels like it's sewing threw butter and it is so quiet even at high speed. I got them both at different times from HSN and the 4 or 5 easy payments made it possible for me to get a better machine than I would normally be able to afford any other way. I also got a Singer 5 thread serger because I make a lot of purses and bags. I will be starting my first quilt for a new baby great nephew using my Juki. It is a quilt/sewing machine. Best thing is to go to a sewing or quilting center and try out the ones you may like. Hope all this helps. Good Luck.
