I have not read through all the posts but has anyone mentioned that perhaps you should buy from a local to you shop? That was recommended to me by a friend who is a great sewer. She told me it was more important to buy from a local dealer (or at least a machine that could be serviced by the local shop) than it was to buy a specific brand. I took that advice. If there are any problems with the machine, you can take it to the shop for repair or help.
I can understand your head spinning with so many different machines out there and so many different models of each brand. Everyone has their own take on the perfect machine. If you have a local shop(s), go there and check out their machines. Talk to someone in the shop and tell them what you want to do with a machine. Try some out! See what they have to offer and for what price. If there is more than one shop near enough for you to travel to, go to any or all and do the same. I hope you can find something you will love!
