Hello
I am new to machine quilting. In the past I have made a couple of baby quilts by hand, but mostly my sewing experience has been curtains, crafts, bridal wear and competitive sequenced lycra outfits for active wear.
My sewing machine, a Janome is 25 years old. I have been shopping for a new sewing machine with machine quilting in mind and embroidery options. I want to start machine quilting.
I really like the Husqvarna Designer Epic (It has everything I want for embroidery and sewing. It's pricey)but I am not sure if it has the quilting options I need. The Bernina has a stitch regulator which the Bernina dealer says is a must have.
Should I purchase a cheap Bernina with a stitch regulator and The Husqvarna Viking Epic or can anyone offer me some advice? How important is the stitch regulator? Thanks Jodi
